In f...Wow, I can really relate to the first point. In fact, what you said is sooo much like what I have been thinking about recently. <BR/><BR/>And, CM is a great example for that...I'm the exact same way. <BR/><BR/>In care group we've been talking about this type of stuff. It has really got my mind going. And I have really realized my sin in that. What you said about how serving having a positive impact on you can be your motivation to do something is so true.<BR/><BR/>I know I do find pleasure in helping people, working with kids, and volunteering for somethings....that's not always the case, but it often times is. But then I realize that[a lot of times] I'm not volunteering to do that to please God or to sincerely want to help, but instead, have attention be brought to myself, or to have someone tell me how much the appreciate it and sing my praises. I do believe that this is not /always/ the case and with God's help, He can help me become more selfless. But it is our[our at least my] nature as a sinner.<BR/><BR/>^I'm not sure if anyone understands that or not.^<BR/><BR/>About your second point, I have kind of struggled with that too. For myself, I'm home schooled, I don't have a job, I don't take any classes with non-Christians and all my neighbors are Christians. This makes it very hard to do anything, even if I wanted to. I know that I could work on trying to reach out more on the occasion where I'm around non-Christians. Also, I could try to purposefully place myself in a place where not everyone is Christian....<BR/><BR/>wow, really gets me thinking.....<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to hear it!! =D<BR/><BR/>whoa, sorry that was long...Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09183579033314610859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374377915237597161.post-35938172732646076722008-11-03T09:19:00.000-05:002008-11-03T09:19:00.000-05:00Well, something did interest me . . .

Maybe I've missed something - I tend to do that.<BR/><BR/>And I really liked your first point of how serving requires sacrifice. Thanks for sharing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
