How Selfish Are We?

I don’t know how to explain what I saw this morning. I don’t know how to describe the scene I witnessed. I can’t even fathom trying to sketch it out. I found myself in a place; I never would have dreamed. The sight I saw brought tears to my eyes and muffled-screams to my throat. The sight I witnessed brought shouts of joy to my lips and raised excitement in my soul. The moment I witnessed, the precious moment I saw; lasted but seconds for me, minutes in reality and lives on in eternity.

And oh, how quickly we pass it by. We walk by it daily and give no thought to the ultimate sacrifice. We take advantage and scoot on by. We lose our focus, and don’t see the salvation in front of our eyes! How blind are we?

How self absorbed, egotistical, idolizing, greedy children we are. How can we not see, not see the ultimate love spilled out onto us. We stand in the presence of the Holy, because of this one precious moment; we live in the moment everyday and we don’t notice it!

How selfish are we, to think we matter more.
How selfish are we, to hold back and bottle up.
How selfish are we, to want EVERYTHING instant – we don’t want to wait.

Yet, we put that moment on hold. We put that precious moment on the back burner and only peep at it when we oh so desire to.

How selfish are we, how selfish are we to not just sit and wait; wait and see.

How selfish are we?
