Selflessness = Godliness

How many times do we hear a Christian say, "That was unfair," or "How could they do that to me?"

Maybe, we've expressed these very words at one time.  You see, as believers, we're often faced with challenging situations that trigger our own hurt as a result of what someone does or says.  Sadly, this may even involve someone whom we may have trusted as a friend, or a family member.  God's Word has answers and provides guidance for us in times like these. 

As you await the next blog that goes deeper into answers and guidelines we may use when encountering these difficult experiences, meditate on God's Word in Psalm 23 which states:

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.
