One of the things I love about being part of The Village Church is it seems that I am constantly surrounded by brilliant, compassionate, Christ-exalting people. Whether that be people I see at church, friends who go to a different campus but still challenge and encourage me over Facebook, Twitter, Email, and blogs. One of my friends, Rebekah, wrote a very brilliant, very honest post that I wanted to share here.
I had a friend of mine tell me (with love) this week, “You’re self-centered.”
It was one of those moments where I didn’t really know what to say or do, so in my awkward nature, I sheepishly laughed, trying to take it in. After about 10 seconds, I knew he was entirely right. And I hate that.
If we’re honest, we’ve all had a moment like this, or will have one soon. Read the rest of Rebekah’s fantastic blog at Thoughts Put to Life.
We’re all self-centered to a degree. As we mature in Christ that lessens and lessens.Congrats for receiving your friend’s comment in 10 seconds. It takes most of us a lot longer time to receive the idea about ourselves. Thank God for a friend who can make comments like that in love. You are very fortunate. Love, NGC
That bit was actually an excerpt from Rebekah’s blog, but it hit me like a ton of bricks when I read it. So, I thought I’d share it here.
