We live in a society enamored with SELF... A culture around us teaching us to focus on our feelings, our appearance, our desires as TOP PRIORITY. We despise this trait in others but justify it in ourselves. I deserve... I expect... I want... are all fuel to the fire of selfishness. SELF and LOVE are in constant battle. Love asks us to deny ourselves for the sake of someone else, selfishness compels us to focus on ourselves at THEIR EXPENSE. SELFISHNESS is a disease that suffocates our capacity to love. When we choose self-centeredness, we become higher maintenance—more needy, overly sensitive, demanding. And then when we don’t get our way, we judge others harshly while being blind to our own faults. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor. —Romans 12:10
