Good Afternoon Girlz!!!
S - Every man’s way is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the hearts. Proverbs 21:2
O - Selfishness is a thorn in my flesh. I have to work very hard to keep it away, and I am not very successful at times. This verse says to me that any one of us can justify our actions, thoughts, feelings, words, and make ourselves believe we deserve something a certain way, but God is not looking at the temporal situation, He is looking at our motives...our heart. Pride, greed, self-pity fuel me at times. Today's devotional says a thankful person is a happy person. When the Lord weighs my heart I want Him to find a happy heart, not a selfish heart.
A - I get very selfish with my time and responsibilites. I tend to pout when there is too much to do and not enough time or man power to get it all done. I need to be better at looking at the positive. Finding the good in the situation and thanking before I grumble.
P - Lord help me have a happy heart. Let me find the good in each situation before I complain about what is unfair.
*complete sidenote - I am waiting on an important email at work & would appreciate it if y'all would pray it comes back to me with the situation completed and totally fixed. Thank you!
Been praying for your email!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand the selfish concept! I think I have perfected it. I can get pretty nasty with my family when I'm being selfish and it sets everyone in a bad mood. I don't want to be selfish!
Don't be too hard on yourself, I think you are a very giving person and you can't be giving when you're too selfish:)
