Empty myself

Jesus was a man who emptied himself. If you look at Philippians 2: 5 through 8, he made himself nothing taking the form of a servant being born in the likeness of men. He made himself nothing. This is really hard! This past weekend work has been very challenging. I've been going to training and yet after the training, which is 8 hours, I go to my regular job to fulfill my duties. I feel like I'm empty myself, but in my empty myself for God? Jesus emptied himself comma gave up everything his glory, his Divine attributes, his eternal riches , everything.  The most important thing he gave up was his relationship with God the Father. Matthew 27: 46. When God forsaken because he took my sin.  I want to empty myself the Lord my God. 

Be resolute in my selflessness!

Jesus was a focused man. When he Resolute Lee set out for Jerusalem comma there was nothing that can stop him. Luke 9 51. It actually seemed like he was trying to push people away but yet he was resolute trying to find the people that would follow him wholeheartedly. He was resolute to be selfless because his Focus was on the kingdom of God. I know from experience that when I'm focused on helping others on my wife building up the kingdom comma it is hard for me to be selfish. What am I focused on today? How am I being resolute to be selfless? These are my questions today

Looking at myself

As I looked  at my week, I always reflect on my reactions and I thought about this scripture.  

Matt 20:28 “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many."

I was thinking about this scripture because I feel like I messed up and my actions were non-verbal selfish.  I can't see Jesus like this, but only with the mindset and heart to react in a way that was going help this person get to heaven.  I did not think so.  I quickly apologized and did my best rectify the situation.  How can I have that heart of Jesus, where I give my life as a ransom for many and my actions reflect that?

Crucifying my selfishness

I'm so grateful to be doing this blog.  It really helps me to look at my inner self and see how selfish I really am.  My wife says I have grown, but I still see a lot of selfish actions.
