The Cage of Me.

I've found myself wading, struggling and sometimes nearly drowning in my own thoughts lately.  I "what-if" a lot and was letting Satan use that against me.  I hate sin.  I actually kind of did this "freak out" goofy thing that my family found quite humorous.  I'm such a dork.  I tried to pass it off as my silliness, but it was a lack of trust and simply being self-focused. Today I was reminded by a gentle nudging to look to the needs of others.  I responded, not without hesitation, and the fog cleared.  This life isn't about me, my rights and my selfish ambition.  I once memorized Philippians 2 and it quickly came to mind. " Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit,  if any tenderness and compassion,     then make my joy complete  by being like-minded,  having the same love, being one  in spirit and of one mind.     Do nothing out of selfish ambition
