I think the biggest thing that destroys us as humans is the concept of being selfish. The other day I was thinking about that me even thinking that someone is selfish is kind of selfish because I am being jealous of that person getting attention.
Phil 2:3 says: "Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves."
More significant than ourselves. Is that humanly possible? I think we can all admit to at one time or another doing something for someone else...but not for them, but for ourselves. We get the attention for doing something helpful, nice, etc.
John 15:13 " Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. "
I think getting to this point is something that we are all going to continue to strive for until the day we go home to Christ.
