Greedy

I have a confession: I have a green giant monster...and his name is Greed. So many times I expect this life to be all about Me, myself, and I... and nobody else. I want everything to go my way. I want everything to revolve around me, and nobody else.

Isn't that the opposite of what God wants? Jesus when He came on Earth could have been served with the best riches, fed the most delicate food, and went to bed on the....

"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and give His Life as a ransom for many." -Mark 10:45

most comfortable bed in the world. He could have had servants serving him day and night; He could have had beautiful clothes on His Body. Jesus, the son of GOD, didn't come to make His Life all about Him. He came so that we may possess eternal life by His Blood by believing in Him. He didn't expect everything to go His Way. When He was about to be trialed, He prayed to God. He was so upset to the point He was crying tears. "Take this cup from me if You Will", He pleaded. But He knew that it was something He had to do. When I am serving God, am I making this all about me? Is my Greedy monster coming out again? I am so tired of the pain of making it all about me. Is it really a wise decision, or after this life will I regret it? I want to make the most of my life I have here on Earth. I know it's not much time, but by spending every moment basking in God, living a selfless life filled with the fruits of the Spirit....that's what I call a good life.
