Interest in Others
I have seen some people who talk just about themselves or
their kids. Even when I take an interest
in them, they rarely take an interest in what is happening to me.
After a period of time, I honestly feel slighted the other
person, because he did not reciprocate and take an interest in me.
At this point, I should ask myself the question: does my
personal self interest have to be met before I can reach out to others? I will admit that it is encouraging when
someone takes an interest in me. When
our Lord was on earth, He took an interest in others, and His focus was to help
them learn to help others. That then
should be what motivates me to take an interest in others. That should bring true self worth and serving
others can be done with prayer for them and helping them.
Father, help us to learn to serve others by praying for them
and helping them. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Reflection:
How might you define
Joy? Ever think of what the letters J O
Y mean?
J is for ___________
O is for ___________
Y is for____________
The answer is Jesus, Others, then you –that spells Joy!
