Raise Lives Daily - June 17


Bible Verse:

For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.   Luke 14:11

In John 15:11, Jesus says, “I have told you this…” He teaches us many things so that our lives may be filled with His joy. One of His timeless teachings is: “Whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”

In today's world, success is often measured by recognition, status, and popularity. People strive to be noticed and celebrated. Yet Jesus presents a different path—the path of humility.

Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less and putting God and others before your own pride. A humble person is willing to learn, quick to listen, ready to serve, and thankful for every blessing.

Jesus Himself is our greatest example. Though He is the Son of God, He washed the feet of His disciples and came to serve rather than to be served. His life reminds us that true greatness is found in selfless love and obedience to God.

A Christian lifestyle is marked by humility. When we choose to forgive instead of retaliate, serve instead of seek applause, and give God the glory instead of ourselves, we reflect the heart of Christ.

As you begin this day, ask God to keep your heart humble. Let your words be gentle, your actions be kind, and your attitude reflect the grace of Jesus. In God's perfect time, He will lift up those who faithfully walk in humility.

With Love 

Rev. Dn. R. Daniel Justine

Bible Verse: Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” — Matthew 7:1 In John 15:11, Jesus says, “I have told you this…” He teaches us many things so that our lives may be filled with His joy. One of His most practical and challenging teachings is: “Do not judge.” It is easy to form opinions about others based on what we see or hear. A single mistake, a rumor, or an outward appearance can lead us to make unfair judgments. Yet Jesus reminds us that only God knows the whole story. This does not mean we should ignore sin or abandon wisdom. Rather, Jesus calls us to avoid a critical and condemning attitude. Before pointing out another person's faults, we should first examine our own hearts and ask God to transform us. A Christian lifestyle is marked by compassion, grace, and understanding. Instead of judging people, we are called to encourage them, pray for them, and lovingly guide them toward Christ. The same mercy that God has shown us should be reflected in the way we treat others....

Morning Thought: Be the Light Bible Verse: "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden." — Matthew 5:14 In John 15:11, Jesus says, "I have told you this..." Jesus teaches us many things so that we may live with joy and purpose. One of His powerful teachings is: "You are the light of the world." Light brings hope, direction, and comfort. In the same way, Jesus calls His followers to be a light wherever they are. We do not need to do great things to shine. Simple acts of kindness, honesty, encouragement, and love can make a big difference in someone's life. Every morning is a new opportunity to reflect the character of Christ. A gentle word can brighten someone's day. A helping hand can bring hope. A forgiving heart can bring peace. When we live in a way that honors God, our lives become a light to others.

Bible Verse: Forgive, and you will be forgiven.  Luke 6:37 In John 15:11, Jesus says, “I have told you this…” He teaches us many things so that our lives may be filled with His joy. One of His challenging yet life-changing teachings is: “Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” Forgiveness is not always easy. People may hurt us through their words, actions, or decisions. Our natural response is often anger or bitterness. But Jesus calls us to choose a different path—the path of forgiveness. Forgiveness does not mean that what happened was right. It means that we refuse to let pain control our hearts. When we forgive, we free ourselves from carrying the heavy burden of resentment. A Christian lifestyle reflects the character of Christ. Jesus forgave those who rejected Him, and He calls us to show the same grace to others. Holding on to bitterness steals our peace, but forgiveness opens the door to healing and restoration. Today, think about someone you need to forgive. Pray for the stren...
