I'm really trying to work on being selfless. I love helping others, but a lot of the time I feel that I only help when it's convenient for myself. So that's what I'm working on, and praying about. One of the most important people to be selfless with is my mom. She is truly amazing, and although she can get on my nerves like no one else can, she works her butt off and goes out of her way to make others happy. And she takes care of whiney kids all day.
Another major thing I have to work on is being critical. Sometimes words slip out of my mouth that are so mean and I have to apologize to the people around me because it's so mean for me to say. Mostly it's about people on TV, but I shouldn't be talking about them either. I think the most snotty things at times, it makes me feel very unclean and trashy. I love a lot of people, but when I dont like someone (it's rare) I just find it so hard to push myself to love them too. I'm working on it though.
Final thought: Being in love with Jesus is easy, being a christian is hard. People hate you, and try to manipulate your words and His word. But they will never know the glory of the Lord unless He calls them. And I cant hate them for that, so I'll show them His love by loving them and not being hateful.
