The Superman and his Kryptonite

The Legendary cartoon and film character Superman has been around for ages. Clark Kent boasts with supernatural strength and agility as he lifts weight beyond what's humanly possible. Everyone, including me, considers him a hero. But like all of us, he's got one weakness.... That little green shiny rock called the Kryptonite, it's so little but it's effect completely paralyzes the Super man till he's reduced to something that can be toyed with.

This is similar in many ways to our Character, many times people outside (Friends, Family,. Co-workers) see us as high flyers, perfect in speech, attitude and conduct. We fly in our colors day in day out and probably we adopt the Christian Passwords (Bless You, You're Blessed, Jesus Loves You etc) and all seems fine....until a co-worker borrows money from you and fails to return it and then you throw tantrums, or someone accuses you wrongly and you let out 'word-bullets' that tears down the building, or someone innocently moved your clothes from the wire without your consent... Then Superman (you) can't fly anymore he becomes just like the world around him...

So what's your Kryptonite? What's the little thing that dents your integrity, that makes men question your character and claim of being godly?

Scripture says to examine ourselves (2 Corinthians 13:5), Jesus made a daring statement by saying "Be ye perfect as your Heavenly Father is Perfect"(Matthew 5:48). It is in Love that we are made Perfect and we are made like Him (God). The standard for moral uprightness is not Mahatma Ghandi, neither is it Daniel, Joseph or any remarkable person you may think of.
Our standard of moral uprightness is Jesus.

ACTION POINT

1. Identify those things that dents your character... You would need to consult the Word, and ask sincere friends around you.

Pray:
Lord, help me to see myself for who I really am. As I delve into scripture show me exactly what I should do in Jesus Name.

Grow in Grace,
