Christian Living
It’s time to get beyond me, myself and I
So that I can hear someone else’s cry.
It’s time to stop focusing on problems of my own
So that I can hear someone else’s sorrowful groan.
It’s time that I pray not only for myself,
But ask God to provide the needs of someone else.
It’s time that I stop having a pity party over what I’m going through
So that I may be a source of inspiration that my brothers and sisters can turn to
In their time of sorrow, heartache and despair
Letting them know that in me, they have a friend who cares.
All I seem to be concerned about is me, myself and I,
And this selfishness, the Spirit of God won’t allow me to deny.
All I pray for is what I want and what I need.
I only ask God to forgive me of my evil deeds.
I don’t pray for the sick, lonely, lost and unsaved.
I don’t ask God to forgive others when they misbehave.
All I want is my joy, my prosperity and my success
And the Spirit has forced me to confess
That it is wrong for me to be as selfish as I am,
And I’m humiliated when I think of the selflessness of God’s precious lamb.
God wasn’t selfish when He gave His only begotten Son as a sacrifice,
And the Son wasn’t selfish when He gave up His life.
Myself and my selfish desires, I must push back and deny
Because my blessings are being cut off by me, myself and I.

Amen! I believe that this is the main reason we miss out on so many blessings that the Lord has waiting for us... it is our nature to be selfish. We MUST get passed that and focus on where we can be a blessing to others despite what we're going through ourselves.
