Selfishness

[113 words]

Selfishness is the root sin for so many other wrongs. If our goal is to please self instead of blessing others, we will be miserable and we will make others miserable too. “He’s so full of himself,” or “He’s so self-righteous,” are descriptions people use for the selfish. God says, “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.” (Philippians 2:3) Selfish ambitions lead to disorder and every evil practice. Love is the opposite. It is not self-seeking. We should not seek our own good, but the good of others. Let’s go to heaven together. I love you.
