"Me, Myself, & I"

"Where do wars and fights come from  among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? You Lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do  not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures" James 4:1-3

I have learned over the last year something that I am sure we all know, but don't either want to admit or stop to see the truth.  The good majority of the arguments, fights and struggles are caused by our own selfishness. All because something didn't go the way we think it should, or we didn't get what we wanted out of a situation.

When we put God first in our lives we also put others first. The "Me, Myself, & I" attitude doesn't' seem to matter as much. Sure, it is a daily & lifelong struggle. But we must continue to fight our flesh. Stand firm in God's word and continue to grow.  Selfishness is one sin that we will always have to battle.

A few weeks ago God showed me something. He pointed out to me that Life is not about what others can do for me, Its about what I can do for others. -cdw
Can you imagine a world where everyone lived with that in place of selfishness? WOW!
