It's Not About You!

At times we find ourselves tempted to do more for ourselves than we do for others. That is a selfish way of living. With the pressure of feeling the need to accomplish so much in life, we often overlook those around us in pursuit of our own dreams. This is a lesson I had to learn this week. Even when it comes to the things of God, we can find ourselves overbearing and inconsiderate of the interests of others.

God does not want us to live this way. When we take the time to find out how we can be a blessing to someone in need, we will find that our needs will be met. Slow down in life! Take a step back at times and look around you. You'll be surprised at how God has orchestrated your steps. The very person you overlook will be that same person who hold the key to your deliverance. Don't be selfish, be a blessing and watch your needs be fulfilled!

"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others."

~Philippians 2:3-4 (NIV)
