Selflessness
I saw a Twitter post yesterday from @lecrae, a Christian hip-hop artist who tweeted:
Hey (insert clever quote) Look at me! ( insert joke) I'm insecure. (insert deep quote) Admire me. (insert spiritual jargon).
Which he then followed up with the tweet:
Gotta love Twitter. It tells the truth in more ways than one.
I spent some time reflecting on that because a lot of my posts on my blog/Facebook/Twitter end up about me, what I'm doing and what I'm thinking (including this one!). I had to wonder if it's all for the purpose of selfishness, drawing attention to one's self.
Contrast that to Carolyn's recent blog posts which have showcased her own challenge of doing the "Love Dare". She started doing this daily "Love Dare" for Lent which has her focusing on one loving action towards her husband (me) each day for 40 days. She's been keeping a running blog report of how things go each day. It's humbling being on the receiving end of this as each day she does something to love me, even when I'm being self-centered. Ultimately it points to how God's grace is at work in her life as it pertains to our marriage, but it also demonstrates how much better of a wife she is than I am of a husband. I'm so grateful for her.
