The World Does NOT Revolve around YOU

So, I have been thinking a lot lately about selfishness. As much as I try to think of others first, somehow I always end up serving my own agenda.

Despite the many times I received the “world does not revolve around you” speech from my parents, I find that even as an adult, I often think of how each situation can serve me instead of how I can be of service to each situation. This has seeped into my spiritual life as well: I have found myself thinking that my salvation is about me.

I have been reminded this week that salvation is not about me. It isn’t about me not feeling guilty anymore, me getting heaven, getting my prayers answered or being a happier person. Salvation is about GOD. It is about how we can glorify Him in all that we do. The bible talks about being chosen…but did you ever stop to think that it didn’t just mean chosen to be saved from hell? It means that you have been chosen to be saved from a life of bringing glory to yourself…you have been chosen to bring GOD glory.

Just a gentle reminder: The world does NOT revolve around you. It revolves around Jesus Christ, the Son and Center of all things.
