Selfishness is the root of most all of our problems. It affects us in our homes, churches, work, and other social relationships. We see selfishness in action in the youngest of children. A little boy and his younger sister were riding a hobbyhorse together. The boy said, If one of us would just get off this hobbyhorse, there would be more room for me.
Selfishness is a problem for adults.
Survivor Eva Hart remembers the horror of its sinking and the more dreadful cries of drowning people. Oh, how selfishness will lead us to be so cold-hearted. Our eyes must be upon Christ and His sacrificial love for us. We must experience the death to self that His death has accomplished. Convinced of an undeserved blessing from Him, let us throw ourselves upon His grace and know the overflowing joy of His life flowing through us.
