What if you could just spend all that time and money on yourself instead?

Selfish people repel others.
They don’t think they are selfish.

What if we can’t see our selfishness?

Hebrews 13:16 NIV
16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

The people in a community stick together. Even if one of them has been behaving, for most of the holiday season… like a spoiled, selfish little baby. ~Vic Frohmeyer

What if your selflessness can break through someone else’s selfishness?

Luke 6:31 NIV
31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.

Belong, Believe, Become.

Acts 2:42-47 NIV
42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

John 13:35 NIV
35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

Selflessness is the epitome of maturity.

Our selflessness can break through other’s selfishness.
