The tape worm of self
2 Timothy 3:2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money,
boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
Philippians 2:21
“For everyone looks out for his own interests, not
those of Jesus Christ.”
The eggs laid at the foundation.
Inch by inch
Cell by cell multiply.
Larvae attach deep within.
oh the parasitic
nature of self.
Full grown worm hardly
noticed,
Until freedom is desired.
No easy remedy,
Tugging and pulling in futility .
The impossibility of self-effort.
Only that which cleans completely
can kill the worm of self.
No quick fix,
only in surrender will liberty come.
2 Corinthians 5:15
“And he died for all, that those who live might
no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was
raised.”
Galatians 2:20
“I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I
who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I
live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
