From Joe Thorn, on the dangers of living a self-centered life:
"The tragedy of a self-centered life is that in centering on ourselves we ultimately wind up alone; isolated from others and God. Even if we have many possession, friends, and prestige, by exalting ourselves to the highest point possible we have no one else to look to for help, because we allow for no peers. No one is beside us for genuine fellowship. Even worse, there is no God above us in whom we find our redemption, purpose, and identity."
I was taken out at the knees when I read this paragraph, because I have seen this in my own life. Repent of living a self-centered life and run to Christ’s loving arms. You can read Joe’s whole post here.
