Praise the Lord Beloved – Happy Friday!!! 😀
You know Beloved, self-centered (egotistical) spirits and pride (snobbishness) can lead to indifference and competitions (fights). That’s why the Apostle Paul cautioned and encouraged the Philippians to put the welfare of others above theirs and be self-effacing. You see, self-centered motivations like the desires for money, celebrity status “reputation”, and power “control” can destroy the bond of men and women, brothers and sisters, family, co-workers, and church members. It can lead to detachments, arguments, disagreements and other things which are not fruitful. Every person has their own distinct needs that have to be fulfilled. Some people need to be loved, some people need to be accepted, some people need to be cared, for and some people need to be appreciated. We all have these kinds of needs, but the key to this isn’t to spend our lives trying to selfishly or greedily get them met. Spend your life being considerate when it comes satisfying other people’s needs “according to God’s will” in giving.
Believe me God will bless you.
Beloved, as you go into this weekend remember your church, relationships, and families may not be perfect, but when you get a chance sit back and think about how nice it would be if everyone tried to receive, appreciate, care and love others. 😀
Let US Pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, please forgive me for being selfish – narcissistic, in looking for what brings me contentment rather than thinking about how I can serve others more. Help me to see the essentials of others and inspire me to take action and be a blessing to them But also give me a vision and knowledge to see and comprehend those that are deceitful that try to play games for their personal gain.
In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen and Aaamen..
