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 |
