Life has been pretty crazy for me lately, but in the time that I've been gone I've learned a lot, seen a lot, and thankfully my faith and trust in God has continued to grow (although we all have days where we fail, believe me).
Through this season of my life I've realized that the world is full of selfish people. We may not even see it in ourselves sometimes, but there seems to be this thought process of, "If I help this person, or if I do this thing... what will I get out of it?"
"Can I gain anything out of doing this? Will giving this person this money help me?"
"If I help that woman with her kids or car will I be rewarded?"

"If I help that woman with her kids or car will I be rewarded?"
Selfishness is everywhere, and this may be a hard pill to swallow but it isn't about what you can gain... it's about what you've already gained.
You've gained the love from a man that willingly died for you. He endured so much pain because He loves you so much and thinks you are precious. He completed the most selfless act EVER, for you.
Jesus specifically tells us:

Jesus specifically tells us:
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it.
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world,
and loses his own soul?
Mark 8: 35-36
