How do I really know if I’m living out “it’s not about me?” How do I insure I am not being self-deceived? Jesus addressed this issue. Many times, when He spoke, He referred to metaphors that the culture of that day could comprehend. It was an agrarian society He was in, and the people understood the difference between “good fruit” and “bad fruit.” Jesus talked about how what was inside of a man would be manifested in the activities of his life. What was inside the heart of a man would become the fuel for what came out of his mouth. What was important to man would be found in his daily activities. What he treasured most would be protected and cared for, and what was though little of would eventually fall by the wayside.
Jesus said that where your treasure is there your heart will be found. In Joe’s translation Jesus is saying “get over yourself … consider the needs and welfare of others long before your own … after all, Jesus did! And if you really care about Jesus and others, it will be seen in the way you organize your life and the priorities of it!”
NOTE TO SELF: Make sure you always reflect a Godly attitude, and that it resides in your heart
