Lord, I Offer My Life to You

I was once only thinking of myself especially when I was a child. I demanded toys, food and the attention from my parents and people who surrounded me. I never thought of what was practical and what the other person felt and was busy doing. It was all about me. I felt the world was revolving around me but things changed when I started going to school, meeting people, dealing with people who were considered underprivileged and when I became more mature.
Love, empathy and concern made me think of other people above myself. It made me consider other’s feelings, thoughts and perspectives. It made me listen more rather than do all the talking. It made me sensitive and conscious of things. It made me more practical and pragmatic by focusing more on needs and lessening the yearning for wants. Life is about helping others and not just thinking of oneself. The world is shared by a lot of people and it isn’t about me alone. As my Alma Maters have taught me and trained me, I am and I strive everyday to be a man for others.
Everyday, I thank the Lord for all the blessings and even the challenges that come my way. I always think of productive and meaningful programs and projects for His greater glory. As my favorite gospel song is entitled “Lord, I Offer My Life to You” is also my favorite thought that guides me in making responsible decisions in my life.
Let us think of others and be sensitive to their feelings and needs. Let us be mindful of our words and deeds.
