Improving your relationship with God - 3

3. Selfishness
Self-interest, egotism, lack of consideration for others)


If God was selfish, where would you be?

Should we not resemble the character of God in this world. Selfishness is the character of the evil one. Because of his selfishness he wanted everything for himself but lost everything. See what being selfish can do? God is please with a woman or man of God who is not selfish. 


"And do not forget to do good and share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased." Hebrews 13:16

Think of ways to show this character (of being unselfish, noble) before God. e.g. Invest your time in God, do something unexpected for someone- for a soul, put God first in what you do (maybe you say you do, but your actions never show that), etc.

"A man is called selfish not for pursuing his own good, but for neglecting his neighbour's"
