Want to be more selfless. - hesetmefree2010 - 08-15-2010 04:59 AM
Please pray the Lord will help me to be more loving and to think of others more than myself. I have borderline personality disorder, and while I have got loads better since turning to Christ I still tend to get real self absorbed, especially with my own problems. Please preay the Lord will give me healing and whatever else will help me to look at other people more than myself, after all, we are meant to be Christians for other peoples sake and I get tired of always going to God with MY problems. I just want to stop focusing on my troubles and deal with them better so I can be there for others more. I wasted the majority of my life and brought many problems on myself and there are others out there who have much worse problems than me and I want to think of them more than myself. It is supposed to be love for others and I want to feel that love for others more.

Lord, help hesetmefree to heal, YOUR HEALING JESUS, that it cement in him, that he leans on YOU as his Rock.
JESUS is LOVE, GOD IS LOVE, stay in your heart.
When you see others, see their heart.
You don't have to think everything or feel everything, but live in your heart, aligned with God, think about HEAVEN, The Heavens, attach it all to God.. I believe we are renewed in our minds, as Adoring1 mentioned the other day, yes, when we are in CHRIST, we are renewed in our minds, hearts & souls. We connect via our hearts, to others. So you don't have to be perfect, your mind, or your feelings, it's ok because only GOD IS PERFECT. & perhaps you notice that you maybe don't fit/ as nice & compact as some might in this world, but perhaps it is that God Set you apart, to align more with HIM. Think about that. We are flawed that we connect with JESUS. We are healed in HIM, by HIS LOVE! So, maybe you have borderline, but what does that mean aligned with HIM? That you need HIM more!!!
& guess what, that is a Blessings, a good thing & that is where your healing comes from. By HIS LOVE. We are also, one in CHRIST, so we do need others, in HIM, as Christians, it is not good for man to be alone. It is not necessarily about marriage, "for it is better not to be married," unless one burns with passion & there are rules in regards to marriage & remarriage, so there is a Rule Book.
The healing, comes in our alignment with ourselves, to our hearts, with GOD'S LOVE, then outward toward others. That is Holy Spirit Healing.. that FIRE, THE HEART, your heart with God's Heart, with other's hearts, GOD IS LOVE. So, you don't need to be perfect, we are perfected by HIS LOVE.
God Bless you. God Knows how hard you try, & I believe this is what HE SEEKS, our efforts to get it right, for HIS GLORY!!!

Think about Einstien's theory of relativity.
We have relatives. God Gave us parents, siblings, children, extended family, etc. relatives.
the theory of relativity is positive & negative energy.
think about that.
it is the forces always that play factor on this earth as it is.
There will be, "a New Heaven & a New Earth." It is the renewing.
So there are always pulls in forces, of our very nature, of good & evil, there are differences in our family members, spoused, children.
It is those forces, positive & negative energies, that spark, flame, THE FIRE, that love, of the heart. Maybe we don't understand someone very well, but it is learning to grow our hearts to love, GOD IS LOVE. We love, not in our silly brains so much, or our feelings, we can feel lots of things & think lots of things, but we come together & make peace, in our hearts, with HIM, with others. As Christians, it is that bond, that loving, always.
RelativITY, there is also EternITY.
So put your mind on GOD, think about Heaven, that we are perfected in HIM. The forces/ theory of relativ ity, is, positive/ negative forces. The Commonality is CHRIST, GOD IS LOVE. We are one in HIM! God Bless you.

Father...please in your mercy hear hesetmefree's prayer and give him the gift of empathy. While it may not have been a natural thing for him over the years, as he wants to grow in you...share with him this gift. Teach him the value of truly caring for others by allowing him to put himself in their shoes. Father...if it be in your will give hesetmefree the assignment of praying for others not himself for one hour a day on this site. As he is bombarded with the pain, fear, torments and concerns of the people of God...it will warm up his heart and grow the empathetic response that is the primary component of love. Asking for help from you for ourselves is both wise and meritable...but praying daily for others is the balm that develops Agape love for others and breaks our hearts of selfishness that we might be more malleable in service to you. Help hesetmefree to understand that there is no prayer answered that does not require some action on our parts, and guide him to the disciplined stance that will allow him to take consistent action in this way. In Jesus holy name...Amen!
