We need Him to be our focus.

Meaning of self-absorbed: preoccupied with one's feelings, interests, or situation:

“So, God created man in His own image. So, where and when did our spiritual journey go off track? Where are the life and love teachings of Jesus? Are our core values on vacation??? Have they eroded with time?

Are we so absorbed in our work, interests, or hobbies that we've lost sight of what's truly important? How do we find our way back to a simpler, more meaningful way of living where love, relationships, and life itself are the priorities?

It saddens me to see our relationships and our world in such an eroded state. It wounds my heart to think that we've lost our grip on reality. 

Have we become callous-hearted?
 

Are we driven to pursue dreams with infectious enthusiasm, fostering a culture of kindness and compassion that inspires others? Do we seek to understand diverse perspectives before we disregard how our actions may affect others? Do we leave scars with our actions? Are our words thoughtful or full of judgment?

Are you one of the genuine hearts that truly care? 

Are we a society that prioritizes selfishness or selflessness? Do we demonstrate authentic care and compassion, or do we simply walk away and move our attention to the next issue? Are we full of self? Are we disengage, or do we put in the work to create a meaningful and lasting impact in our own lives and the world and the people around us?

God created man in His image, which also includes our heart... Does our heart reflect His love? Or have we dimmed His light? I do not claim to have all the answers, however, 

I do believe we can make a difference... 

We can be less aggressive... we can be more understanding, more loving, more caring, or KIND.

I challenge you to start today, be that heart that can make the difference in someone’s day with just a smile and a kind word... 

or just STOP... 

And say simply say I LOVE You... God loves you ... and mean it! 

Let’s not be a hollow image of God... Let’s learn how to shine in His light once again... let’s learn to live this life from the best teacher I have grown to LOVE... Jesus... 

It’s Him. It’s always Him.  

And I am a work in progress!  Never forget GOD LOVES YOU!

Let each of you look out not only for his own interests but also for the interests of others. Philippians 2:4 

“Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness, I have drawn you” (Jeremiah 31:3).
