Thought of the Day !!

Don't be selfish; don't live to make a good impression on others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourself. Don't think only about your own affairs, but be interested in others, too, and what they are doing.
Philippians 2:3-4 (NLT)


We live in a me...me...me culture. What we must do to get away from this is simply wake up every morning and say to ourselves, "It's not all about me today!"

As you go through the day today, and over the weekend, see just how many people you can put before you by serving them or lifting them up in some way. If there's anyone that you're around that you normally just try to "tolerate", try doing something special for them.

Doing this can set us free from so many things. Just think about. Putting others first and not thinking about ourselves could hold off anger, envy, jealousy, mistrust and a whole host of other weapons that the devil is trying to use against us.

When it's not all about you, it can become all about Christ. And isn't that what the life of a Christian is really supposed to be about?

In the love of Christ,
greg

Yes it is, brother; yes it is. I read and re-read this post and wondered, 'is it really that simple?' I think for the sake of the Kingdom, it must be. Thanks for good thought.
