Everyone has it every person does it does that make it okay no not at all. I am selfish I always want something else but lately I've started changing and becoming a better Christian a better follower of Jesus Christ. I am still really selfish though but I only recently returned my life over to God about 3 months ago now :)
2 Timothy 3 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good,4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. 6 For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions
He's talking about in the end times and we all are having more and more difficulties now then back then just look at how Human history has changed. We have difficulty with Self Worth apparences.... "Without self control" Is important how many times do you look at someone and think "oh my Gosh why would you do that to yourself thats disgusting" How can people have control if they believe in nothing by what standard do you follow the law of the world? Yes but the world is the enemy 1 John 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. and also John 17:14-20 14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.18 As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.
20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word
The world will come to an end but God remains forever. Whats more important the next thing you can buy or have or the next thing you can do to glorify God and give him all praise. Were not of this world we were sent to this world to stand for what is right. not be okay because the world says it is okay. just because the world thinks it is okay and accepts it doesnt mean we should that doesnt mean be mean because like in our last devotion Love the greatest commandment to Love God first with all your strength heart mind and soul. then he says to love others just as you love him so that one person you see continually messing up and falling into Drugs, Sex, impurity, unclean thoughts lust all those who was it Jesus came back for those people you walk past and stick your nose up at. Follow what Jesus taught and Run towards the world not away from it.
So i am leaving you with this Don't run from people in need try to do more for your fellow person. Love God entirely dont be selfish be giving in kindness and walk humbly.
