What would Jesus want ME to do?

Do you ever think how you affect others lives?  I am sure we all go about our lives looking for ways to help and touch others in a positive way.  But do you ever think about the things you do that might truly hurt someone?  I don't mean intentional hurt but that hurt that happens because you just don't think.  Or that hurt that you cause because you are selfishly thinking about your self and how it would be easier for you?  That hurt that happens because you just don't think.....or just don't care.

So, what would Jesus want you to do?  

Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.  Proverbs 28:26.

It is hard to put our own mind and feelings aside and open to God and do what Jesus would want us to do.  It is even harder to put aside the people around us that continuously appear as concerned or even Godly when they only have their own self serving agenda that concerns them.  

 Having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.  2 Timothy 3:5

 

There are many false prophets out there and Satan does his best work in people who appear as the most wonderful, sincere, God loving people.  Yep, hard to know who to trust and who not to trust.  The one thing I do know is that when you are sitting on that ivory self serving tower, God will eventually come along and knock it right out from under you!

So, what would Jesus want ME to do?  I believe he would want me to pray for the self serving, put Satan behind me, and  be there for ALL God's children!  Not be selective and be there for only the ones that make me feel good, but for all! 

Think about how you affect others, not by what you do but maybe by what you don't do.  Every decision you make in your life will affect someone in either a positive or a negative way.  Perhaps if we stop and think about everybody and everything, and take ourselves out of the picture, we can strive to positively influence all!  That is what I think Jesus would want ME to do......
