Far too many people live in the moment, doing as they please without any consideration for how their decisions impact others. In the wake of those decisions flounder innocent participants who have gotten unnecessarily sucked into a vortex of pain and destruction. Many times, the perpetrator finds out way too late that his life has ended up being one tragic mistake after another. And when they turn to look behind them, they see the wreckage of all the bridges they have burned that cannot be rebuilt. Christ is the answer, for even when all appears lost and there’s nowhere to go but up, He is there patiently waiting for them to stop being selfish and take a hard look at themselves.
Are you one of those people? You say you know the Lord but spend little to no time with Him. That is a recipe for disaster, for the enemy of your soul is waiting to strike when you are at your most vulnerable spiritually. That’s when temptation comes lurking around the next corner and you find you are in no position or frame of mind to ward it off.
God loves you without question, hesitation, reservations or conditions. We all slip up. We’re human, it’s what we do. God knows this about us and yet favors us all the same. Set a new course for a life of selflessness. It can be easier than you think. Seek God’s face daily and specifically ask to become selfless, rather than selfish. We all wrestle with it. Unfortunately, it’s human nature. Cling to the cross and devote your thoughts, words and time to the Lord each day. You’ll be amazed at the transformation that will take place over time. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing.
