What would it be like?

I was contemplating this morning what would he be like in the world if people were selfless. If we thought about others the for ourselves. What would I be like if I was more selfless? What's up a marriage what I have?
Galatians 5:13 For you, brothers, were called to freedom. Only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity to gratify your flesh, but through love make it your habit to serve one another.

At some point in are day We do use our freedom to gratify our sinful nature, or at least I do a lot. For me, this is through spending time by myself or getting caught up with things that don't really matter. I do feel likeI'm starting to realize a lot more my selfish acts because I've been studying so much about selfishness. We have freedom to do so much why not become selfless? It is so challenging to break from the mold of being self-serving to the example of being selfless serving. But through love make it a habit to become selfless. Being able to love is a selfless act.  My challenge for mySelf this week is to ponder more but do something about beingSelfless.

Be resolute in my selflessness!

Jesus was a focused man. When he Resolute Lee set out for Jerusalem comma there was nothing that can stop him. Luke 9 51. It actually seemed like he was trying to push people away but yet he was resolute trying to find the people that would follow him wholeheartedly. He was resolute to be selfless because his Focus was on the kingdom of God. I know from experience that when I'm focused on helping others on my wife building up the kingdom comma it is hard for me to be selfish. What am I focused on today? How am I being resolute to be selfless? These are my questions today

Looking at myself

As I looked  at my week, I always reflect on my reactions and I thought about this scripture.  
Matt 20:28 “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many."
I was thinking about this scripture because I feel like I messed up and my actions were non-verbal selfish.  I can't see Jesus like this, but only with the mindset and heart to react in a way that was going help this person get to heaven.  I did not think so.  I quickly apologized and did my best rectify the situation.  How can I have that heart of Jesus, where I give my life as a ransom for many and my actions reflect that?

Crucifying my selfishness

I'm so grateful to be doing this blog.  It really helps me to look at my inner self and see how selfish I really am.  My wife says I have grown, but I still see a lot of selfish actions.
