Truth: I Am Becoming Other-Centered
By Jon Walker
And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 (NIV)
*** *** *** ***
In faith, I know this to be true:
By God’s grace, I am becoming other-centered, no longer focused on the interest of self.
I can look out for the interested of others because I know it is true that God will supply all my needs, according to his riches (Philippians 4:19).
In faith, I know it is true that I can give more than people expect; I can help more than people may request. I am ready and enabled by God to give to anyone who asks (Matthew 5:40-42).
The life of Jesus in me is working to “do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share” (1 Timothy 6:18 NIV).
And again and again, I will stand on the truth that God will meet all my needs; therefore, I can keep an intentional focus on supplying the needs of others (Philippians 4:19).
I am like Jesus when I look to the needs of others.
