Greetings Dear Reader,
Do not think for a moment that I will suggest that we not
love ourselves. We must have
self-respect and value our lives. We must
love ourselves if we are to love our neighbor as we love ourselves.
The problem is the trend toward self-love over responsibility
and community. We are too self-absorbed. We put ourselves first in too many situations. Advertising, social media, and popular trends
push us to focus on our own wants over the needs of others.
There are things we must seek before we seek things for
ourselves. We are to be willing to
sacrifice everything for Christ. We are
to seek the kingdom and righteousness. We
are to seek the welfare of others over our own wants.
Instead, trends tell us to focus on ourselves. We can give token effort to the needs of
others but everything that comes at us is geared toward our wants and
desires. We are told that it is
acceptable to neglect others and fill our own vessel first.
It is not the way in which we are supposed to trend Dear Reader. We put so many things ahead of our faith and
following. We fail to see that every
moment is supposed to be focused on Christ and seeking him. If we do this, then there will be less need
for the trends that do not satisfy.
There will be less need to recover and heal when we trend toward the selflessness
of Christ.
I must seek what is good and right over what I want and
wish. My needs will be met by the Father
if I seek only to follow. The trend
toward self-absorption not satisfy and will untimely fail. Do I need to take proper care of myself? Yes, but not to the exclusion of the path I
am called to walk.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn

homeowner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
