It's Not All About Me!

It happens to all of us. Those little frustrating things that others do. You know, like when someone puts the toilet paper roll on the wrong way. Or, and this is a big one, someone leaves the toilet seat up! Man!  Of all the nerve!

But really those things do not have the power to make us angry. Ephesians 6:10-18 speaks about spiritual warfare.  I firmly believe that there are little imps out there that taunt and torment us, if we let them.

It is so much easier to just flip the toilet paper roll, or just check to make sure the shower is turned off before we turn the water on! It really isn't a big deal unless we let selfishness make it a big deal, and thus lose our joy. Well it might just be temporarily, but still.

The point is it really isn't all about "me." We are to look on the things of others. We need to care for and consider each other. Isn't that what love really is all about?*

*Philippians 2:3-4 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

 

*(NLT) I Corinthians 13:4-5  Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud  or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.

 

*Just a little reminder: The joy of the Lord is our strength and the Word is the source of joy!
