(Thank You, dear Jesus, for all Your Blessings.)
Honor means holding someone in high regard because of something extraordinary they have done. When the Father put His Love for you above His Love for His Son, Jesus, that was an extraordinary discourse of action. If He can perform such an unselfish act such as this for you, then how hard can it be to put others before you daily?
To illustrate, two people are having a discussion differing on the details to the point of arguing. No one gives in so they part angry at each other over an issue that neither of them may really be sure about or often not even knowledgeable about.
This same illustration, guided by the Holy Spirit, would have diffused long before either party got upset, realizing that different people see things differently or one of them could have remembered the details incorrectly or heard them wrong, etc. So to live Christ-like, you would be humble and let go and move on to some other topic. My point is: give up your stubborn pride, opting for peace and harmony. Anger…..arguing and then unforgiveness is NOT worth separation from God or a friend. Sure, stand up for Me, for what I stand for, but even then, don ‘t argue with anyone over Me. LOVE is My Father ‘s language and should be yours too. Live in Peace with one another.
