Spiritual Selfishness

As Christians we shouldn't let our selves be so focused on fixing OUR sin problem that we forget about the World that needs our attention. A kind of spiritual selfishness. God will fix our many flaws in His time and in His way. Lets look towards Him and not at our failures.

I have realized that we(Christians) can often get very focused on fixing ourselves. We go up, alter call after alter call, asking for God to change us. For Him to help us become holy and righteous. But we leave and our focus is often still on our sin not our Savior who already redeemed us of that sin.

We will never live a completely sinless life until we are one with Christ in Heaven. So if we give our sin most of our attention how much will we miss? How many times will God be trying to use us and we say No i'm not ready I'm not clean yet.. How much will the world suffer while Christs hands and feet (Us) on the earth are focused on being a physician to  themselves? We must get past our selves.

Colossians 1:11-12 (New International Version, ©2010)

11 being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, 12 and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you[a] to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.

Colossians 3:1-4 (New International Version, ©2010)

1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

Does God want to bring us into greater righteousness and holyness? Yes, of course he does. Does he want us to remain in sin? God hates sin. But I am convinced more than anything that God wants Souls more. And if we can be his hands and feet to reach the lost ones he loves then he will be our Righteousness and He will lead us into purity. Lets take our focus off ourselves put them on our savior Jesus Christ.
