the talk was about selflessness. which i had been thinking a lot about.
ya see, people who have problems with living for God or being a
christian, just can't get out of themselves. The ONLY way to do Gods
will and be what God wants u to be is to get yourself out of the way! i
mean what makes u so special? why do your needs come before others. are
u better in some way? do u think u have all the answers? you will
amount to a meaningless life with a meaningless ruiteen filled with
meaningsless talk. that will will end with that silence of all your
meaningsless things and broken thoughts. you can't do anything,
anything u do will end up in desaister. cuz its all for you. well, u
can have urself, cuz i now that no one else wants it. if people knew
what u thought and what u did in secret no one would want u. or even
care about u. so i ask again, why are u so special, tell me what makes
u think u can act like u are better, or know more than someone else. i
wonder, can we stop thinking about our selves for more that 5 mins. its
hard. to over come this selfishness usually takes a lifetime. if u work
at it all your life. and i mean every moment of your life. hey, you can
worry about your cloths, relationships, car, hair, face, and what
people think of u. but as for me, i just let God take care of that. cuz
i figure ill just the one who knows all and is all take care of me. you
know that some of the best moments of your life is when your not
thinking about yourself, but for one tiny moment get sucked into God.
In that moment you will feel like u can move moutians. then its gone.
and u know that u might never feel that again. unless u work at it
again. Who are u anyway? ur just one in 6 billion living. u really
don't mean anything. and not of any value to anyone on this earth
except ur family and maybe your friends if your lucky. so chace your
desires, live your life for u. look after yourself. and die in
yourself. if thats what u want. &lt;br&gt;
however, even through all of your wrong doings, and your terrible
thoughts,&amp;nbsp; he loves you. even with your worthlessness, he still
loves you. even though you never have givin him more than a fraction of
your life, he loves you. even though your one in 6 billion he knows
everything about you and every hair on your head. and all the thoughts
you've ever thought, and loves you like you would never know. i don't
understand it and no one will except God, for he is love. so i ask you,
will you continue to live your life for yourself. or will you live in
the peace, calm and love of&amp;nbsp; Jesus who is the Christ. as for me i
choose to serve the Lord. he will lead me to green feilds
and lay me to rest in the shade. for i know that i can't do anything
and that im nothing but dirt. talkin bout myself&amp;nbsp; again. its
rediculous.&amp;nbsp; like it matters what i do, its what u do that matters.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
so say to self, get out! i've found someone better. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
for with Jesus you can do all things for he strengthens u. power beyond
your imagination is waiting for you if you just go get it. with all of
you fill with Jesus. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Jesus was the most selfless person in the world ever. ex: women at the
well, he just walked all day, tired, hungry, and thristy. yet he
misitered to this women and changed her life. even though he was God
and have every right to tell to get everything that he needed. yet he
did not. love unconditional. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
get out yoself and ur problems. love God and others. thats the christian life. thats it. go and live.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
sry bout this. hope u could follow. not good at it. just something on
my mind. if u'd like to talk bout it...just talk to me.lol. o man. by
the way all this, from Gods words,&amp;nbsp; just in case anyone i don't
know reads this,lol just in case. cuz everyone i knows will get that fo
sho.(probably about ...alot&amp;nbsp; of grammar mistakes) lol. also,
talkin bout myself in this too. just in case u wonder. ight.&lt;br&gt;

There is a unity and oneness in the faith. "Where there is unity, there is maturity. Where there is disunity, there is immaturity."&amp;nbsp; Unity shows that growth has taken place, that there is stability in the One Faith (Ephesians 4:4-6).&lt;BR&gt;2. Prepared unto every good work.&amp;nbsp; In 2 Timothy 3:17, it indicates that we are "thoroughly equipped for every good work." The Hebrew writer states it this way: "make you complete in every good work to do His will." (13:21).&lt;BR&gt;3. Able to build self up. We become less dependent upon others, and we are even able to help those who are still dependent.&lt;BR&gt;4. Able to speak the truth in love. Expressing truth lovingly shows maturity. Harshness, with an air of superiority, is not only offensive, but certainly does not reflect mature actions.&lt;BR&gt;5. Grow up in all things. Growth is not lop-sided, but balanced. This makes it possible to grow to our full potential in Christ.&lt;BR&gt;6. Every member doing their part. Each member functioning for the good of the whole. Each doing what they can to carry out God's plan. They are well-organized, welded together, and functioning as a unit. Such brings about growth of the body.&lt;BR&gt;7. So we can do the harder things. Some things are harder to do as a Christian than others. Unless we are maturing, we won't do what we should. Maturity has helped us to bring our lives into conformity to all of God's will.&lt;BR&gt;8. Make wise decisions. Hebrews 5:14 states, "those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." Decisions are critical to our spiritual life and growth. We need to make mature, wise decisions.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;CONCLUSION&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;What a challenge we face—to grow up, become a man, be mature, be perfect! Have you begun your walk yet towards perfection? If so, how well are you progressing toward that ultimate goal of being like God?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=1&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/z1man89/383375350/item.html#firstcomment</comments></item></channel></rss>
