sorry, I hit a wrong button I guess.
Pray that we all reach the point where we don't need to discern the difference between what WE want and what God wants from us.

The words 'serve, love and humility' show up SO much in the Good Book - must be kind of important, eh?! what WE want and what God wants from us. I hope that I reach that point but sometimes I struggle with the guilt for my selfish desires.

This is a trouble area for me since it's easy to feel like I'm doing enough unless I truly reflect on my behavior. For instance, I'm more than willing to do things for my wife or donate to charity, but when my fellow graduate students ask for help I can't be bothered to assist them. I ask God to put His hands on me and allow me to glorify Him by serving not just those that are convenient to serve, but everyone He puts me in contact with each day.

Let us look outward with our eyes and see the need around us. So much need, let us reach out to serve others over ourself. Always think if the needs of others. Love you Jesus. ❤️💛💙
53/365: Motivated To Love
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. ~ Philippians 2: 3-4
It is easy for a relationship to swerve when we take our eyes away from the needs of others and focus solely on what we want.
We are asked to display a strength and resolve built on serving our neighbors with humilty, dignity, and care.
GO DEEPER: 1 Corinthians 13:1-13
NEXT STEP: Prayerfully consider how many hours of your day is spent on your needs and how many hours are spent on the needs of others around you. Is there a balance?
