How often do I pursue my self interest over the interests of God?
A few weeks ago, I spent the afternoon with a friend that is actively pursuing self over the pursuit of God and God showed up in our conversation. It was amazing!
Then I found a great analogy thru a life situation yesterday... I had a small 1/8 of a inch spot on my face that was cancerous. Post removal I have at least 26 stitches and a permanent 2 inch scar. Why? The cancer that wasn't visible was deeper and wide then what was visible. How often is our sin the same.
I have found it interesting that I've been more concerned since the surgery with how I will look once healed vs the truth that I now have a form of cancer which needs to be monitored. The pursuit of self creeps in yet again and I get a glimpse of just how deep and wide my sinful nature really is.
Just food for thought...
