Me, Me, Monday

Good Morning! Hope all is well with all of you today after our marvelous Homecoming yesterday!!

Me, me, Monday!! Isn't it strange how this world magnifies the fleshly desire for us to put ourselves first. I think we all have that within us. We go to schedule something, and we think how it will affect us, our family and the like. The Bible calls us to be selfless not selfish. We are called to deny ourselves and take up our cross daily. I don't think it's any coincidence that the Bible says we have to do it daily, because it is so against what our flesh desires.

Think about it. In our lives, what is really ours????

Our husband? - Nope - a gift from God.
Our kids? - Nope - a gift from God.
Our parents? - Nope - a gift from God.
Our time? - Nope - a gift from God.
Our homes, finances, cars, everything - think about it, really, absolutely everything is a gift from God!!

Praise God and thank him for all the gifts he has given you. He's given us these things to be good stewards over, not to be selfish with.
God has given us everything we have! What have we given him? Are we being selfish by not telling others about him. We can't be selfish with our salvation! Let's go out and tell others about Jesus!

Love you gals! Hold me accountable for this, because this is hard for me! Ask me who I've shared Jesus with today!
