Being selfish

Hey there, I find it very disturbing yet it seems to be too true that we are all very self-centered. Being selfish is something I want to get rid off, yet I know that it is part of the human condition after the fall. However, with Christ in me I can let HIm help me to be LESS self-centered and more Jesus- centered and thus more other-centered. Does that work? Yes I do believe so. Why am I selfish? I am not selfish because in the morning , I get up and tell myself: today, kerstin, it is all about you, be selfish today! NO , but I walk around with wounds from the past and dynamics that start to fall in place with specific people more or less. It takes a conscient decision NOT to function in these parameters. I observe the selfishness-epidemic with all of us. Love God , love people, liebe Gott, liebe Menschen: as if that were so easy! I am writing this post to tell you that I do not want to FUNCTION in these dynamics anymore, I decide every morning when I wake up to let HIM who is greater than anything or anyone rule me ! May HE lead me from self-centeredness to God-centeredness and thru that to other-centeredness!
