Self - I have an acrostic which I came up this week for SELF:

S = Serving

E = Ego

L = Living

F = Foolishly

EGO is:

E = Edging

G = God

O = Out

This is what self always does - it pushes God out of focus and places self as “uno” number one to be served and to be appeased. Servant leaders are those who have chosen to lose to God – to lose to self – to lose to pride – to lose materialism and have chosen the path of the servant-hood! The reality check is when we center on Jesus Christ our focus shifts from self.
