The Road of “Me”
Feb 20, 2008 Unplugged Moments
You know I often watch the actions of others to determine if they are worth my getting involved with on a deeper level. This past week I came across a young woman that I have talked to often. I realized something about her and it unnerved quite a bit.
This young woman is walking the road of “ME”.
The road of me is all about that person and they cannot see outside of the small world they created for themselves. You know the person who never got out of that teen-aged philosophy of “it’s really my world”.
This is a dangerous road to travel.
When we are in the realm of “me” we can’t see the needs to others. The ability to love unconditionally does not exist for you because if someone does not do it your way, then you can’t love them effectively.
When you are on the road of “ME” your motives become warped and your ideas of assisting another revolve around what you want for you. It has nothing to do with the person you are doing it for.
You know Jesus loved us without rhyme or reason. He showed it all that way to cross. Although He had His moment where He asked for the cup to be removed from Him, it was still not about Him.
It was about you and God’s glory!
Are you traveling the road of “ME”?

at one time I walked this road until I found GOD. Now I am no longer on the road of me but now on the road of HIM yes you know who I am talking about. Thank you for this post.

Great post LaTara! I can’t say that I’m NEVER on the “me” road, but I’m doing my best to not be and over the past few years I’ve seen a significant change.
Here’s a great scripture about this particular topic I thought I’d share (hope you don’t mind): Proverbs 11:25

This is a battle I fight and don’t always win. It’s so easy to trip and land on the “Me” road and get stuck there. Thanks for reminding me there’s a better road.

Very well put:)
Many of us are guilty of walking the ‘me’ but it is only the ones that can acknowledge that fact and realize that it is wrong that later succeed….the only road to follow is that of the Lord’s and all else will follow:)
