“Nothing is more repulsive than a life turned inward and focused only on its own joy.”
Remember:
Jesus said we gain our lives by losing our lives.
Matthew 10:39
Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
Mark 8:35
For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it.
Luke 9:24-25
For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?
- Let’s live for the blessing of others.
- Let’s walk in a newness of life that we have in Christ.
- Let’s live for the joy and the happiness of others.
- Let’s live for His happiness and find our greatest possible joy in the process.
Amen to that, Pastor Marty! Also, I have found that living for God and others is way more fulfilling than to only live for oneself!
