A sweet friend of mine posted this picture above on her Facebook page. It caught my attention as I read it over and over again for a moment. I decided I wanted to be "selfish" too.
Selfish with the Lord and I, get a little focused and protective with my time with the Lord. Keep leaning on Him in all I do, say and think.
Its easy to fall into a funk, then it seems to lead into feeling overwhelmed. I think the overwhelmed feeling comes when I try to stand and do on my own instead of with the Lord.
The Lord is my strength. The Lord is how I'm going to be a little more selfish on improving the person He wants me to be.
I have some goals that I would like to accomplish this year and I need the Lord.
I can't be what others around me need me to be for them if I'm not what the Lord has created me to be for Him.
So however you want to take it, I'm going to be "selfish" this year with my Lord and Savior, but know I mean it a good way that will bring a better person within Him for myself and others.
Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:9-10
It is God who enables us, along with you, to stand firm for Christ. He has commissioned us, and he has identified us as His own by placing the Holy Spirit in our hearts as the first installment that guarantees everything he ha promised us. 2 Corinthians 1:21-22
