Good Morning!!
Self-help,...Self-improvement,...Self-serving. Seeking to serve self is
like an infection that spreads and affects our relationships, marriages,
families, as well as our business dealings. It seems harmless enough,
and it's often presented in a manner that sounds almost needed. It
affects our relationship with God and with others as well as ourselves.
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.—Mark 10:45 (NIV)
We want our
relationships to work, we want to feel peace and contentment in our
lives. But we won't find it in seeking more pleasure for ourselves, or
seeking to find ourselves. The peace and contentment we so
desperately seek, can be found only in seeking to please and serve God
first, and in giving and serving others above ourselves. A philosophy
that contradicts modern day thinking, but a true one none the less.
It's never just about us.
It's only in the center of God's will, and in His service that Christians find their heart's desire.
"If you follow in the footsteps of Jesus, it will be anything but boring,
...you simply can't be in the will of God, and be bored at the same time."
...you simply can't be in the will of God, and be bored at the same time."
