WRITING FOR OTHERS=RECOGNIZING
THE IMPORTANCE OF OTHERS
WRITERS like to be ACKNOWLEDGED & recognized
=I am no different
But the TRUTH is=I write from
MY LESSONS on life=and I write
So OTHERS may benefit=from what GOD
Has TAUGHT ME
“Do NOTHING out of selfishness or
OUT of VAINGLORY=
Rather HUMBLY regard others
As MORE IMPORTANT than yourselves
…………”
Philippians 2:3
I have been PUBLISHED a handful
Of times=and it made me HAPPY
But the truth is=NOTHING makes
Me happier than WHEN-
SOMETHING I have written
Has TOUCHED somebody or HELPED SOMEBODY
I RECOGNIZE your importance=and I recognize
The IMPORTANCE of the reader
After all=we are ALL=just TRYING
To get along
You=ALL OF YOU=reading this=
ARE very important to me=for
WITHOUT a reader=a writer
Is absolutely nothing
“For what I have RECEIVED-
I PASSED ON to you-
As of first importance
That Christ died for our sins
According to the SCRIPTURES
That he was buried
And that he was RAISED
On the third day
ACCORDING to the Scriptures
And that he APPEARED to Cephas
And then to the 12”
1 Corinthians 15:3-5
“’The most IMPORTANT ONE’
Answered Jesus
‘Is this-‘HEAR-O Israel
The LORD our God-
The Lord is ONE
LOVE the Lord your God
With all your HEART
And ALL your soul
And with all your MIND
And all your STRENGTH’
“The second is this
‘LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR-as yourself=
There is no COMMANDMENT
Greater than these’”
Mark 12:29-31
So LOVE GOD FIRST=and
LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR at least as much
As yourself
I work hard in SHARING GOD’S
MESSAGE of LOVE
But we should ALWAYS ask ourselves=
“Are our EFFORTS being made
With the BEST INTERESTS of others in mind?”
I can honestly say YES
To that question
I HOPE you can too
For if we are NOT LOVING OTHERS
More than ourselves=we are
NOT living HUMBLE LIVES
And we are FAILING at the
SECOND COMMANDMENT
In the name of Jesus our Lord-and-
HIS MOST HEAVENLY FATHER
