I’m a selfish person.

I have motives many times that are selfish.

How can I change?

How can we be more selfless in our actions and choices?

In the theme of lent and because we are starting the 5th week of Lent and during lent we are to reflect then change.

Let’s focus this week on Selflessness.

How many acts during any typical day do you do something selfish?

“Selflessness”

In Matthew 22, Jesus tells us that we are to love our neighbors as ourselves. But in doing so, He places the emphasis on treating others as well as we, ourselves, would like to be treated.

“Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.””

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭37‬-‭40‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Lord God,

Help me change my motive and be more selfless. I want to be more like Jesus.

Amen

“Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The most selfish thing you can do is help someone else.
