Thoughts for 31Aug2012 #2150 Selfish lifestyle Self-centeredness is the basic cause of much of our distress in life. Our loves, our interests and our energies are too often focused upon ourselves. Many of us live selfishly. Matthew 19 : 21 If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me. Here in this verse, Jesus wants us to be released from selfishness and its destructive effect on our personality and life. John 3 : 30 He must become greater; I must become less. 2150
