Selfish

How many times does a person have to call you selfish before you begin to believe what they are saying about you?  I know, I'm a big girl and a bright girl; I should be smart enough to know that the only things I need to believe about me are what God say about me.  But it's not easy when you hear it all the time; or at least it feels like all the time and you just can't seem to get away from it.


Yet somehow, I'm actually a little more convinced that the problem is with the person and not with me.  Oh don't get me wrong, it does throw me for a loop sometimes, but I am usually able to bounce back and think.  I'll have me a Selah moment.  I ask myself, "What's wrong with you?  What insecurities or imperfections are you dealing with today about you that is causing you to lash out at me?"  


Well, this will be one of those things to ponder and one of those things to grow from because I refuse to let anyone stop me from getting to the place that God would have me to be.  No, I won't run over you, I won't abuse you, I won't lie on you, I won't lie to you, I won't cheat you, etc., but I will drop you like "Hot Fries" before I allow you to bring me down!


Now run and tell dat'!
