JULY 15 – EGO

07/15             1 John 5:20-21 

And we know that the Son of God has come, and he has given us understanding so that we can know the true God. And now we live in fellowship with the true God because we live in fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the only true God, and he is eternal life.  21 Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts.

EGO

How are you handling your ego?  We tend to be egocentric beings, always focused on our needs, our thoughts, and only after all we want and have are met God’s thoughts.  He clearly says that all of us can have a good relationship with the Father through Jesus.  Our salvation is a gift so that none can boast.  Put Jesus first and everything else will be in the right place.
