Self-centered


Hebrews 13:5 New English Translation (NET Bible)

5 Your conduct must be free from the love of money and you must be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you and I will never abandon you.”

 

Self-centered

 

Another soul lost in uncertainty dressed in a beautiful face

Life seems to take its toll without any segregation

It may not last permanently it maybe after all,

that nothing can spoil the limits of frustration

 

It seems so self-centered the problems in our lives

We are so egotistical as we blame our flaws on others

As our hearts get splintered and our conscience dies,

we stay as the prodigal, thinking no one bothers

 

All problems encountered seem to originate from self

Our reaction to the reality drown us slowly every day

Are we here to flounder the gifts of the “Living-Well?”

As our principality for sure will give "Himself" away
