let it pour!

.
selfishness
   is the spark
      that sets fire
         to the building.

selflessness¹
   is the droplet
      that puts out
         any such flame.

in this world,
   this ball of fire,
      let it rain, o' God!²
         let it pour!
 

John 13:35; 15:13
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Philippians 2:3-8

¹selflessness is lovingly
forsaking self for the
benefit of another/others;
lovingly putting the needs
of another/others ahead of
ourselves with no personal
gain expected in return;
modeled by Jesus for us to
emulate

²this love is the love of
God poured into us to pour
out of us
