Selfishness

The Lord is the only one who can change a heart from one of selfishness, to one of generosity. And I found, that the more I let God make my heart gentle and generous, the happier I became, and full of peace. It's entirely an ATTITUDE thing.... I could give STUFF with a stinky attitude all day long, however, it's the heart that counts, as always.
This became "my verse" this weekend: "Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured unto you again." Luke 6:38
And, this one. "But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully." 2 Corinthians 9:6


This was taken from my internet friend Shanda this afternoon. Something that I fight on a daily basis is selfishness. Withholding my time from my family. It is the 1 thing that Hunny can't stand about me. He wants my time.

While it's a struggle for me to give freely of myself, I know that with God's help, I can change that. When I read this today, it spoke volumes to my soul.
