Get Over Yourself
Romans 12:16 (NIV) Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
It doesn’t take long to discern that a person is all about himself. In his arrogance, he can interrupt a conversation about tire treads and make it all about himself – really. Want to see a room clear out? Just post someone near the window to see when he’s approaching, then – ghost! No one enjoys the company of a person who only hears sees, and cares about himself. There’s just not enough space in such shallowness to allow even one extra person to participate! Life is not about any of us. Life is about God, and it requires all of us to share in listening and communicating with interest and concern for each other. Life cannot be lived as a one-man show. If you think you can do it – get over yourself – or else you’ll learn the hard way that your value of yourself exceeds your worth…especially if you don’t know God.
