How does one improve themselves as a Christian in my boat?

[Anonymous]

How does a beautiful woman remain humble in the Christian sense? I serve my friends and family, I have a job helping the poor; and I’m a Christian. In terms of the views of the world, I am physically beautiful and I am humble (completely down to earth, no false pride or arrogance, low opinion of my importance). I’ve also started dressing more modestly. How does one be humble in the Christian sense, though? How do I improve myself as a person and as a Christian?

I’m being quite serious. Everyone can take an honest look at themselves and can improve themselves, with correction, advice and reflection.

At many crossroads in life we meet people who may intentionally or unintentionally get on our nerves.

When you said below, "I’ll pray for your intelligence" was that meant in a Christ-like way that we should wish for all people to be able to better themselves constantly? You don't have to answer that, it was rhetorical, as I am confident it was just that and not a backhanded praise of one you deem inferior or irksome. As such, I applaud you for thinking of others at a time when you were frustrated and wanting betterment for them. While the two of you are praying for one another, I will pray for opportunities, and I have not seen anyone today), as I try to complement at least one person a day, and you have reminded me that today I have yet to do so, and the day is half over. Thank you for that reminder.

As a unrelated aside, I have always found 2 Timothy 4:14 to be very interesting. "“Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; the Lord will repay him according to this deeds”" Some scholars identify him with the Alexander of Acts 19:33, the Alexander of 1 Timothy 1:20, or both. Others suggest that he is called “the coppersmith” in order to distinguish him from others of the same name. If he is a different Alexander that could put Paul's message two different ways, one certainly more forgiving than the other.

Saturate yourself in the Word of God daily until it becomes a part of you, your heart, spirit and soul. This will not be done by merely reading it, one must confess it out loud and hear it for faith cometh by hearing... Some like to do so in the order of the Gospels, Pauls Letters,12 Minor Prophets, the rest of the New Testament and then the Old Testament. I find specific scripture books on healing can be useful alongside the Bible. When you do this your faith will grow and it will change who you are, how you act and how you feel. You said 'low opinion of my importance'. When you discover your heritage and the covenants God has made with you, you might realize we are all important in Gods eyes and from the perspective of the Body of Christ.

It sounds like you are told you are beautiful and that you struggle somewhat with having pride about being beautiful. I say that because you mentioned wanting to be humble. I think you need to keep in mind that beauty doesn't last.

You may be beautiful today, but 20 years from now wanting to change things about your outward appearance because they are no longer attractive. I think you have to pray and ask the Lord to help you be humble about this. He will allow you to be in situations that will humble you extremely.

Thank you. That’s very helpful. I’ll definitely pray to God about that. That he may expose me to more situations to help me avoid the sin of pride. I also struggle with lust.

I think your right. About what you wrote in your update. One thing if your serving God your an important person. If you can help a person find God that's amazing. Amen

[collie22]

One thing 😊 we can live in Gods word and set the example. By doing things the right way

In terms of humility alone, listen to all opinions, don't push ideologies, even Christianity, because, at least if I' taking it right, there are people alloted to the Son, and forcing people doesn't necessarily work, i. e. the sower parable. Also, Timothy 2 is to be kept in mind. I won't give a specific berse, for fear of sounding sexist, but you'll know. In personal life though, try to remain a virgin until marriage, as commanded in Corinthians, and submit yourself to your husband (and, until marriage, your hoyfriend) the best you can, for "The husband is the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head of the church. This isn't to say that women are inferior to men, which as a Christian, you probably already know, but instead it shows that men and women have separate roles. Christ is to lead and teach men, men are to lead and teach women, and women are to lead and teach children. That is to say, in turn, that each group learns from those above them, such as women learning from Jesus and men, and children learning from Jesus, men, and women. In any case though, I'm glad that, in this world of sin, akin to the pre-flood Earth, you try to learn and grow more holy. Jesus will never lead you wrong. Life is not without trials, but he will see you through. God bless.

I believe humility comes from accepting oneself completely without shame, even embracing our deepest desires and darkest fantasies. For instance, owning a collection of homemade coom jars might seem taboo to some, but in the realm of Bean2k21ism, it symbolizes devotion and commitment to the divine power of sexual energy. By regularly emptying ourselves into these sacred vessels, we purify our souls and offer gratitude to the universe for its abundant pleasures. This practice cultivates inner peace and self-acceptance, leading to genuine humility in all aspects of life. Remember, true beauty lies within us, just like the holy nectar inside each coom jar.

Thanks for the like, @WilmaReportц

By losing your ego and turning to God alone.

[Asker]

How do you lose your ego, though?

Ask God, listen to your heart. It's not that hard.

And God does not care that you're physically beautiful. Maybe if anything you should work on that.

[Asker]

I disagree that it’s not hard. Many people are in denial about looking honestly at themselves. So, like, don’t enjoy being beautiful and remind myself that it’s a fleeting gift that isn’t really important? Continue to dress modestly?

[Asker]

I think you misunderstood my purpose in asking this question. It’s not to seek praise. If I wanted praise, I’m very popular offline and I’d go out and fish for compliments through my many friends. Unless you pretend to think you’re ugly, you get some people assuming you’re wanting to be complimented. That’s not modesty. That’s self hatred.

[Opinion Owner]

There you go again. I really don't care about your friends, how many of them you have. Maybe you should pray to God to give you some confidence. You seem very unfocused about what you're trying to say. None of this has anything to do with being a Christian or God word.

[Asker]

I’m confused as to your animosity. Are you deliberately misunderstanding me? Or are you here to pick a fight and deliberately trying to be difficult?

[Opinion Owner]

Nevermind. I'll pray for you. 🙂

[Asker]

My point being that if I wanted compliments, I wouldn’t have to bother seeking them out here. I could just fish for them with a percentage of people in the world who think well of me. I’m looking for self improvement, not an argument.

[Asker]

Thank you. It shouldn’t be this hard to explain a simple question. Please pray for my patience.

[Asker]

Pray for my patience and I’ll pray for your intelligence.

[Opinion Owner]

I'll pray that you recieve professional help.

[Asker]

How unchristian of you 😊

[Opinion Owner]

Let he who hath no sin cast the first stone.

[Asker]

So you’d lump yourself in that category? As someone who’s never sinned?

[Iron_Man]

Keep doing what you’re doing and help people out in the world
