Beware of self esteem.

11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

Luke 14:11

The world teaches us every day and not get tired of saying that we have to have a lot of confidence in us, a lot of attitude and self-esteem there in the clouds so we can have success and happiness in his personal life, the emotional life and especially in our professional lives. That's what we all hear constantly.

In today's world there is much talk about being a winner. Be a winner. The company seeks to winning at all costs and will not tolerate in any way the so-called losers. Win and get first place is the biggest and best objective to be attained. In today's culture it is important to get in front, no matter how much it will be done. The important thing is to win. What really counts is to get in front. Unfortunately, if necessary, forgetting even that business of brotherly love and love of neighbor because it is a thing of weak people. This is something of losers and losers. That's what some people are teaching there.

The Lord Jesus Christ teaches us all very differently. He says that we are to love as He loved us. He teaches us that we must put our trust and hope in God alone, in Him and in the Holy Spirit of God. Another thing that our Lord Jesus teaches us is that we should not in any way or to exalt in his mouth and not in heart.


Everyone likes to win. Everybody likes a compliment. We all hope to be recognized. It's good to be laureate for a job well done. However, we must not forget that all those who perform good works in our lives is our Father, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit of God, and not our strength or our small nonexistent intelligence and wisdom.


God wants us to be winners, not because He made us to discouragement, to the weakness of mind and not for the defeat, but the Lord wants us to be real winners, champions in humility, meekness, in gentleness, in kindness, charity, understanding, hospitality, and especially love of neighbor. This is so true that He said to those sons and daughters who endure walking and do as he said and did, them, He said he would give the Crown Victoria. And there's more. Do you know where we receive our crown? Know who will deliver us this infinite honor? That's right! There eternity the Trinity is who put our names in the book of life, who will she will put in our heads deserved the crown and lift us to the podium of eternal life.

Therefore we must take care with the goals we put in our hearts. so we must beware of self-esteem and also with the compliments we have received from people. We should not get carried away by pampering this world. We should not put our hearts in the glories and rewards human, and yes, we must act with humility, modesty and caution before the awards and accolades that the world offers us.


We do this to prevent our recognition and exaltation on earth we will completely forget the love the people and the great love we receive from large blesser of our lives is that of our Lord Jesus Christ. We must never forget that the Prophet John the Baptist:

He must increase and I must decrease. - John 3:30

Day after day, we use our gifts and talents to make love and the Mighty Name of the Lord Jesus Christ to grow more and more in the minds, thoughts, hearts and lives of all men and women who, unfortunately, do not yet know .

When God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit all honor and glory amen.
