Servanthood

PDL page 266: "Thinking like a servant is difficult because it challenges the basic problem of my life: I am, by nature, selfish. I think most about me. That's why humility is a daily struggle, a lesson that I must relearn over and over. The opportunity to be a servant confronts me dozens of times a day, in which I'm given the choice to decide between meeting my needs or the needs of others. Self-denial is the core of servanthood."

I find myself challenged by these sentences from the PDL book that I'm almost done reading (for the 1st time; already planning to read it at least once more).

Thinking most about me. How true is that. Day in and day out. How about thinking more about what GOD wants? There's hope: God has begun a good work, and He's going to complete it! That's a promise to hang onto.
