LIFE IS NOT ALL ABOUT YOU.

Hello friends and Steemians; I'll like to take a little time here to thank all those that have always visited my blog, read my articles and dropped comments, thank you so much. Its not been easy though but its a process and I know we'll all get to the peak just be consistent and we'll improve.

I'll like to thank @seyiodus who after visiting my blog earlier today had this to say in a pmc

but I see you don't write christian article. Or are you planning to start?

So tonight, I've decided to share a word from Philippians 2 : 3-4 and match it up to our daily life.

Philippians 2 : 3-4 NLT2

Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit,
but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.
Let each of you look out not only for his own interests,
but also for the interest of others

God has given us the keys to living. One of which is stated on this passage of the Bible yet most of us have in time past overlooked it. We are in a culture where everybody is desperate, desperate to get rich, desperate to become famous and known. It has eaten so deep in us to an extent where people do not care how they get fame and money. We are all looking for success but we have refused to use the right key.

As Believers, the Bible clearly says that we should esteem others above ourselves. This means that in all we do, we should always have others in mind and be conscious of the impact on others rather than the self benefits.

The true measure of success is not the number of cars in your parking lot or the number of upvotes/likes on your social media post. The true measure of success is defined by how much of your purpose you were able to achieve and how many lives you were able to touch.

Stop chasing money and fame. Life is not all about you. Esteem God's will above your will and Esteem others above yourself. That's the key to success

James 3:16, NIV

For where you have envy and selfish ambition,
there you find disorder and every evil practice.

Remain Blessed. God LOVES You

We were not made for ourselves.

Thanks for stopping by.

Not made** rather

I am glad you decided to write a christian article. Even if it is short, it will still impact something into the reader.
Thanks for the mentioning.
God bless you.

Thanks ma'am. God bless you too.

We are not made for ourselves, paul said if i die, its for the Glory of God and likewise if i live, its for His Glory. Impact lives. @ ketocee, nice write up, sorry i mismatched an account.

Thanks for stopping by... I appreciate.

'Me-first' attitude is prevalent in our world today. Really , we need to consider others as we would love to be considered. Above all what God's will superceeds. Thanks for sharing

You are welcome.
