Just read something interesting from daily devotion.

No wonder the old saying goes “The middle of sIn is a big I!” When “I” become more important than others and what “I” want and that “I” win is more significant than what someone else truly needs, then “I” have lost my way and do not display the love of Christ.

It comes naturally to me that I  prioritize  ”me” first in everything. However, God tells us to humble ourselves;  lower ourselves to last, then He will lift us up higher. His “rules” of doing thing are so backward and awkward to us, don’t they?! Yet they are the right way – the correct way that makes everything works smoothly with less effort. It’s like we are right-handed, yet struggle and try to do things with our left hand. God is telling us: you don’t need to try so hard, just use your right hand! We can either tell Him: a) “mind your own business. I’m doing my own way” and struggle with own failures, or b) try His approach and do things with ease.

I remember seeing this church bulletin a while back:

J – Jesus

O – Others

Y – You

and with that order, it spells out JOY!
