How about a 'service-centered' life?

Let’s admit it. Most of us are selfish human beings. When we’ve been hurt emotionally we hide out in self-pity. “Why me,” we ask.

Self-centered is defined as, “preoccupied with oneself and one’s affairs.”

Selfishness is a form of narcissism. You build yourself up while tearing others down.

The Bible calls it, “works of the flesh,” and it’s evil in the eyes of God.

It ruins friendships and it will hinder your prayers.

I’ll admit, in my younger years, I was a very selfish person. Even as a Christian, I sought my own desires and often neglected the needs of those around me.

Then one day, God picked me up out of that ‘self-pity pit’ and steered me in the right direction.

My stubborn pride came to an end and I’ve never looked back.

Now, I ask God daily to bless me so that I may bless others.

I hope I’m seen as selfless, putting other’s needs in front of my own, and depending on God to show me how I can serve others.

Get your heart right with God. Serve others before your own needs and God will bless you beyond measure.

Philippians 2:3-4 - “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.”
