Selfless or Selfish? Are you putting your needs before God's?

from Conquering Me

Are you a selfish Christian? I'm specifically asking about your relationship with God. Have you ever asked the Lord, what does He need? I know it may sound silly but think about it, have you? Have you had a conversation with your Heavenly Father and desired to hear His heart, His desires for your life. It is very easy to take a selfish approach in our relationship with God. Some believe, whatever we ask in His name it shall be. Well, John 14: 13 Jesus did say "" and I will do whatever you ask in my name" But if we continue to read the rest of the scriptures it will give us a godly understanding.John 14:13-1613 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—Even what we ask and what Christ answered, must glorify our Father not ourselves. So I'll ask again are your selfish? Psalms 37:4 saysDelight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart,In order to receive our desires we have to take pleasure in pleasing God. Don't mistake His grace and mercy as His will. There is a specific path and plan God has for each person but do we desire His plan or ours?So I all ask again, are you selfish?
