"It's all about me!"

It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking "It's all about me!" We may not say those words, but our selfish attitudes and actions scream that sentiment. For us to find success in life and be a blessing to those around us, we must make the focus of our life be "It's all about God!" Read these great words from the Apostle Paul:

"Do not be selfish. You need to really care about others. Do what is right. Do not try to make others think you are really great. No way! Think about others. Think about the good things others do. Make them feel special. Do not just think about yourself. Do not just think about what you are doing. Think about others. Think about what others are doing. Think about how they are special. Care about them. You need to be like Jesus. You need to think like Jesus. You need to have the same idea Jesus had. Jesus is God. He was in heaven. God told Jesus to go to the earth. Jesus did not say, 'No way! I do not want to do that. I am God. I want to stay in heaven.' Jesus did not say that. He just said, 'OK.' He became a man. He was not important. He was like a slave" (Philippians 2:3-7, The B-I-B-L-E).

Just think what the world would be like if we all had the attitude Jesus had. I want to challenge you to make a difference in your little corner of the world. Let's teach children to be unselfish--to love God above all and to truly care about others.
