"God The Me First Responder"

Me first doesn’t seem so bad when you are four and you want all of the goodies before everyone else.  But how does it fit at 14 or 24 or 34? Me first looses it’s cuteness the older we get.  Let’s face it, we may not say it right out but we live it.  On a freeway we Me First our way all the way to work.  We Me First our way through the check out line with a full cart, even though we could let someone else go first with only one item.  We even ruin our most intimate relationships with Me First.  Are we really getting ahead and going up, or is there a better way to live?  Jesus said that the first shall be last and the last shall be first.   He was trying to tell us that contrary to Me First, putting others first is a secret to happier and more fulfilling life.  If you’re thinking, “Ya Right.” Think Again.  How different would your life be if those around you started living in a “You First” lifestyle/ Everyone in your life would be pouring into your life instead of taking out of it?  How different will your relationships be if you start responding “You First?”  I think you just might appreciate the outcome if you became to experiment with the “You First” mentality today
