How can Jesus help me have humility;How can I not be so selfish,I’m worried,more or less scared of this.How Can God help me to have humbleness?
My dear brother shall i tell you a secret?
When you are in your selfish spirit, when you claim God's salvation just for you, and not for
everyone else as well, then willingly lay down your existence there in. Confess to Jesus you are a selfish sinner, just like all of us sinful people, but that you so very much rather be humble and loving like Him. Keep giving Jesus all your selfish thoughts and desires, and die/refuse to want to be like that any longer, time and again refuse to be selfish. Understand that you don't want to be in this horrible selfish spirit ever again, a spirit in which you only think about yourself, and you don't care for the salvation of other sinners.
Romans 6:6
"
For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—"
Keep dying to feeling selfish and your anxiety will also go, for it are the sinful thoughts and desires we as sinful people have that make us feel so bad inside as Christians. Refusing to be like that, when you are in such a mood/spirit is the way to receive Christ's Spirit instead of that horrible sinful one.
This is an excellent prayer to help you achieve this.
Psalms 119:33-37
"
Teach me, Lord, the way of your decrees,
that I may follow it to the end.
Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law
and obey it with all my heart.
Direct me in the path of your commands,
for there I find delight.
Turn my heart toward your statutes
and not toward selfish gain.
Turn my eyes away from worthless things;
preserve my life according to your word."
Be of very good courage, you that have sinned in the spirit of selfishness will be saved if you refuse to be like that any longer, asking Jesus to make you like Him, humble, caring, sharing, comforting, and trusting in God's grace. Keep asking Jesus until you have a humble spirit instead of a selfish one. Please don't try not to be selfish, for that doesn't work, selfishness has to come, so you can repent from it as it does, and Jesus has to set you free. So even if you feel really selfish, and your BIG I burns its very biggest in your heart, simply refuse to remain like that, rather want to die being like that, rather than staying that way. Please remember to eat grace when you fail and you do do selfish things again. Keep eating grace, for as long as it takes for you to love Jesus more than being in selfish spirit.
James 3:14-18
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbour bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, non-spiritual, demonic. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness."
Please understand Jesus loves to save you from being/feeling selfish, simply lay down your bad life for Jesus, and ask for His good life in return, keep doing that until bad life runs out and His good life fills you to the brim.
It is so very good to be in safely in Christ's Spirit. So each time you feel selfish, lay down all your wants and feeling like that as well, and wait on the Lord to come and save you from your sins. And remember when satan shows you your miserable existence in sin, don't freak that, but rather lay down your bad life being like that, not for the devil, but for Jesus, because He laid down His life for you and you love to be in His Spirit and not in your old sinful one.
1 Peter 1:3
"
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,"
Be of good courage Jesus died for
all your sins, He has your salvation laying ready for you in Heaven, so please trust Jesus to love you true, even if you can't do that yet. Do remember that Jesus has already saved you, so please keep your eyes on Him so you can claim His salvation as your own, laying down your life in wrong spirit, so Jesus will make His Good Life to be alive in you as well.
Meeting Jesus.
Inability to change forces me to look Jesus in the eye.
The blushing shame at my own nakedness creeps.
Luckily I know the accuser is the father of the lie.
Well now his harvest this fallen angel reaps.
Come see the weeds inside my heart to be burnt!
"Can you remember times of wanton greed?"
Awakened, I hear my faithful Saviour speak
"When you hated from my love to feed?"
In His kind words the fire of His mercy peaks,
I saw greedy loveless spirit tumble out of me.
A very fiery ending is the only way to illustrate,
The fate sinful spirit meets on his tailspin out.
Utterly rejected and in a most miserable state.
Clear knowledge what his punishment is about,
This ruler is stripped from his powers over me.
"Those times you in selfishness did feed?"
The perspicacity of His view zeros in.
His voice gentle, sounding so sweet.
Still I watch my biggest I crumble within.
Tumbling down the tunnel without ending.
"But my beloved child why did you follow?"
His urgent words bring me back from sure calamity.
"How much narcissistic thinking did you swallow?
Come, just let it flow out of your personality,
take on humble vision of self like Dad and Me."
Gratefully i take His gift offered to me.
A humble heart inside my chest to throb.
Truly from greedy selfishness free to be.
My dear Heavenly Friend please never stop,
fill my every sense of being with Yourself.
Never ever did i deserve any of this.
Loving goodness my heart to meet.
i know i have done so much amiss.
Yet in compassionate care You greet.
Forever in the truth of Your Story to be.
