It Is Not About ME!

This is tough one, folks. Let's face it, we are wired to be egocentric. We each believe that we are the axis of the world. I do not know how we got to this point, but we arrived none the less. Jesus spent his entire life teaching us to love God and others ahead of ourself and when we do it, the huge effort seems minimal and the blessings abound. Yet, we still fall away.

Imagine how awesome the world would be if we all lived by putting others ahead of ourselves. In a selfless society there would never be an argument, as there would be nothing to argue about. After all, how could you berate a your cousin for borrowing you lawn mower and not returning it. When they not only returned it but they had it tuned up and cleaned as well. You would never have to eat alone as there is always someone who could use your extra food and the would most likely prefer not to eat alone either.

The joy of serving is immeasurable and even in our materialistic society there is no value one can place on a smile. :-)

Yhea God!
