Don't waste your life living for yourself. This is a lesson I will always be learning. We are selfish people but focusing on ours selfishness keeps us locked securley in a prison of ourselves. Rather pray that you will love others effortlessly. Give to others in big and small ways. Don't waste your life worrying about money. I am only truly fulfilled when I am in love with God and His love overflows into a divine care for others. Only when I am willing to let God have complete control of my life am I able learn these lessons. I want to learn to love others completely, give my money freely and spend my life in thankfulness for the gifts God has given me. If you learn to look at your relationships as gifts, I think it will change your perspective on how you are treating your friends, family and acquaintances. They are not yours, you do not own anyone. Take a risk and love outside of yourself.
Holly, you have beautiful thoughts :) Thanks for this reminder!
