I learned today that I was incorrect in one of my previous posts. Not only are selfish and self-seeking actually very similar (they're basically like cousins), my decision was not by any means selfish nor was it self-seeking for it was an act of obedience. Although I wish there was another way, I want to do God's will. And I am willing to accept that this is the path God has for me at this time. Also I've learned that while God calls us to be obedient, it doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be easy.
Romans 12:3
For by the grace given me I say to everyone of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.
Philippians 2:3-4
3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
Isaiah 26:3-4
3 You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. 4 Trust in the Lord forever.
P.S. I want thank all of my dear friends and family from the bottom of my heart for your love and support during this challenging time in my life. You have all been so wonderful and helpful; without you I would still be lost and hurting. Thank you! xoxo <3
