I could not sleep this morning.I know this has happened to me lots in my adult life. Dr. Charles Stanley wrote a book about "Finding Peace". I opened it up this morning and the words just slapped me in the face. Is this me? A self-centered person is a person who thinks, my needs, my wants, and my ideas must be met, enacted, and fulfilled. Such a person tends to talk nonstop about themselves. Am I insensitive to others, and a manipulator of people and situations? I have felt very much alone since a good friend of mine, or I thought she was stopped having anything to do with me over a year ago. Did I drive her away from my selfishness? My heart is heavy, Lord I want to serve you, and be generous in giving my time to others. I know life is not all about me, it is about what I can do for others, it is about what pleases Christ. Are you speaking to me this morning Lord? How, and where do I begin to give more of myself to further your work Lord Jesus? I want to do what Jesus would do, I search for ways oh Lord to fulfill this in my life. God send me your word, show me where to work for you. Show me where I can give to others, not only spiritually, but emotionally, and materially. I sit and study your word Lord, but I am not putting into practice what you are teaching me. I ask you to show me what to do. I want to please you Lord, and God help me to find ways to do that for others, not for my self satisfaction. Thank you Lord for waking me this morning, and laying this on my heart. Guide me God, to work for others, not for myself. This is my prayer this morning Lord. May the work I do today be pleasing to you, and helpful to others. Amen
