thinking of others before ourselves can be an easier task than actually doing for others before ourselves. you know sometimes it is so much easier to just look out for #1, but is life supposed to be a cake walk? i get frustrated at times trying to figure out why people don't want to do what i want them to do or when i want them to do it or how i want it to be done. in frustration i say things i don't mean or things that are hurtful. i am sure that God feels that way about us, but he doesn't say mean things to us or punish us. we don't always put him first, others second and me third. i know that not every time i speak or make a decision i put him and his words before me and my selfishness. then there are times that i think i am trying to do as Jesus would do, but still people are unhappy with the result. in these instances i am just unsure as to what to do. my defensive guard pops up and it is over-- mean girl is set loose! that is terrible! i need to learn to keep my jets cooled and keep striving for putting myself in 3rd. so at the end of each decision, i can say i put you before myself.
i am in 3rd.
love!
