THIS IS ME

Webster's Dictionary defines a selfish person as
one "concerned excessively or exclusively
with oneself." A secondary definition is:
"seeking or concentrating on one's own
advantage, pleasure, or well-being
without regard for others."

The apostle Paul describes people
in the end times as "lovers of self,
lovers of money, proud, arrogant,
abusive, disobedient to their parents,
ungrateful, unholy" (2 Timothy 3:2).
If that doesn't describe the world today,
I don't know what does.

Everybody is bound to be selfish at one time or another.
It's just typical of human nature. From the time we were
able to want something, our selfish nature has been
hurting other people - Woodrow Kroll

"the amazing thing,
truly selfish people don't even
know they are being selfish"

Some people think selfishness is a good thing
and that if you follow the example of Christ
and put the needs of others above your own,
you're a sucker and a fool. But all who would
live a godly life, one in which we are becoming
more each day like our unselfish Savior, need
to view selfishness as something
to deal with seriously.
