3 Lies That Accept Our Focus Off God

Many articles focus on knowing how particular nosotros are to God. But I intend our existent occupation is realizing how particular God is to us.

These lies encourage a focus on ourselves:

1. I can't dear others until I offset dear myself.
This comes from a imitation interpretation of Mark 12: 30-31. 
See Loving Self First

2. I can't serve others until I experience whole as well as confident.
Serving others is oftentimes the best agency to arrive at confidence as well as joy (Philippians 2:3-4). 
See Beatin' the Blues  

3. God wants me happy.
God wants us sanctified as well as mature which brings joy, but non ever happiness (Hebrews 12:1-3).
See Happiness Lie.

Here are three solutions to these three lies:

1. Focus offset as well as initiatory of all on loving God (Matthew 22:36-40).

2. Treat others every bit nosotros desire to survive treated (Matthew 7:12).

3. Quit thinking as well as hence much well-nigh ourselves (Philippians 2:3-4).

Only when nosotros sympathise how particular God is to us, volition nosotros fully sympathise how particular nosotros are to God.
