Always on my mind

There's a fairly popular song, "Always on my mind," that has been released by several artists. Brenda Lee released it in 1972, Elvis in 1972, Willie Nelson in 1982, which won a Grammy Award, and even the Pet Shop Boys in 1987. Yep, the Pet Shop Boys. It has been a really popular song.

The gist of the song is that I haven't shown you the love that you deserve; that I haven't done the little things to show you how I truly feel; that I haven't done what you needed me to do in order to prove my love but You were always on my mind.

Today's word is a C.S. Lewis quote that says, "Humility is not thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less."

I find it absolutely amazing how much I think of myself. I don't mean that I think HIGHLY of myself. I mean that I think about MY plans, and MY day, and MY stuff, and MY this, and MY that. Thinking so much of yourself can lead to quite an ego, which I try to fight every day. Lately, though, I have begun to wonder if MY thinking has caused others to think I didn't think enough about them.

Please believe me when I say this...I know it's not all about me. I am what I am, where I am by the AWESOME GRACE of GOD. I cannot thank Him enough. I cannot praise Him enough. I cannot give Him enough credit for all that He has done, is doing, and will do. It's not about me. If I've ever made you feel second best, I'm so sorry that I was blind. But, you were always on my mind.

LORD help me to be better at thinking of others more, and of myself less.

Be Blessed,
