What does putting myself second mean? I'm a Christian, which for me means I've experienced my heavenly Father's love, so I want to put Him first. And yes, I believe Jesus died for me. In times of feeling down and when I think of the future, my Lord brings me hope and purpose.
A verse that strikes me in my running and fundraising is Proverbs 31:8 - "Use your influence for those that don't that have any."
2 Timothy 4:7 'I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.'
Philippians 4:13 'I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.'
Matthew 25:40 "The king will answer them, 'I can guarantee this truth: Whatever you did for one of my brothers or sisters, no matter how unimportant [they seemed], you did for me.'http://www.iamsecond.com
