Always “Me-Minded”
“...If anyone intends to come after Me, let him deny himself [forget, ignore, disown, and lose sight of himself and his own interests] and take up his cross and follow me...”
Mark 8:34
If you want to lead a miserable, unhappy life….
all you have to do is just think about yourself all the time.
When everything becomes about us, and what we do and how we think, we reduce life down to a fraction of what it was meant to be.
- Life is about God, about His people and how we can best love and serve Him!
Sometimes it can fell like a challenge trying to keep ourselves off of our minds because we are so emotional and thought driven, but I find that the more I obey the Lord’s command in this area, the happier I become.
Obviously we can’t live without taking care of ourselves or doing the right things for ourselves, but that doesn’t mean that we have to be consumed with selfish, self-centered ambitions & mindsets.
- Anything taken to an extreme can become a weakness of coarse, so that is why it’s so important that we stay balanced in every area!
True joy comes when you live for God!
