We live in such a “me” centered culture. So much of our lives we spend thinking about how we can make our lives easier, how we can be happier, how we can get what we want. We spend our days focusing on ourselves, with little thought to how we can be a blessing to someone else.
Truth bomb:
“If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.” Matthew 16:25 (NLT)
For so many of us, we are going about finding fulfillment all wrong! We are living for ourselves, but scripture makes it clear, that the way to find life, is to lose our own life…our own ways…our own self-centered tendencies!
So today…seek to find what it is that Christ ransomed you for. Seek to love others, and find ways to serve. When we get our minds off of ourselves and on to how we can love others, it is amazing how much happier we become. There is great freedom in living beyond ourselves!
