Daily Devotionals and Meditations... was created by Wescli Wardest
I receive emails from my Mom daily where she shares her devotionals with me. I may begin posting a few of them here for everyone else to see. Where these are designed for the Christian reader many have good messages.
This one in particular I get the sense that it can be used to stress humility. And maybe we just aren’t as completely awesome as we’d like everyone else to think. Long story short, we can see the importance of not putting ourselves above the Force or others.
Part of the message is hidden for the guests. Please log in or register to see it.

That was great, thank you. I'm far from a Christian reader, but with a few substitutions the message made a great deal of sense to me. To put others first to achieve something greater... to prioritise the wider Force over our own small desires. "For it is in giving that we receive".
Your mum writes really well
please thank her from me if you mention sharing them!

Just wondering why anyone must making themselves smaller to make someone biggers. Seems a little foolish to me.

Perhaps it's their way of emptying their cup, so to speak...

Because some people concentrate more on themselves than on others....
And others concentrate on others more than themselves....
OK Christian Jedi, what is a verse that tells you to 'take care of yourself'?
It is a balancing act, a fact some seem to miss...
Some of us are just to the side of perfect balance, some of us are in danger of totally falling off balance....
It is a good reminder to stay humble...

I can appreciate the content of Mom's writing.
Mom goes straight a sharp point of ego: who wants to decrease? fear of loss of power . . fear of loss of prestige?
The ego (the self-centered world view) shrieks in terror . . . if i loosen my attachments to these aspects of self . . what will become of me . . i will be nothing!!!!! LOL . . I am laughing at the ego . . here. . .
The humility to loosen the false self
The paradox of give to receive (or die to live)
The empty teacup . . totally open
