You Can’t Leave Yourself Behind

All of the things we’ve been considering flow together to make us who
we are in everyday life. If we are ‘one’ with our goal, as was mentioned,

then it is part of us and we can’t leave it unattended for long.

“Wherever I go, there I am!”

This is a popular phrase, and folks use it often. All we have to OFFER in

any situation is us— ourselves. We may take other things or people
with us, but when it comes down to reality, all we have to offer is us.

The truth is we take ourselves everywhere we go. It’s what we have to
OFFER. We take the good parts of us wherever we go. It’s what we have

to OFFER. We take the bad parts of us wherever we go. It’s what we
have to OFFER also.

We need to think of ourselves and try to put our best foot forward
always. But sometimes we can get so introspective that we lose focus

on what’s important. We can even wrongly tune other people out.

Jesus Gives Us Some Good Advice

Jesus says to deny ourselves, and to consider others more important
than us. We only connect with other people through our own selves.

God gives us one mouth and two ears so we hopefully listen more than
we talk. But some people seem to have a mouth that is more dominant.
