Do you love yourself more than anything in the world

Do You Love Yourself More Than Anything in The World?

There is nothing wrong with having confidence, but there is saying each man is for himself. That is so true. I look at all the newspapers, people killing their friends, neighbors, children, and family because of their selfishness.

Look at the guy who left his child in the vehicle while he went and did everything he wanted to do. This little boy died as a result. People bombing, shooting, etc. out of selfish ambition. Allah would never tell no one to hurt innocent people. Jesus would never tell Christians to hurt innocent people through witchcraft and voodoo. Jesus would never tell a Christian to abuse their spouse or children. Jesus would never tell Christians to be rude to others and always look out for self. Jesus would never tell Christians to sleep with their brother in the church (wife). Jesus would never tell a Christian sister to sleep around with men in the church.

There are so many people in love with themselves. Look on these websites like Instagram. People taking pictures every second to get others' approval. They willing to be clothless to get approval of their bodies. Some don't care about their mate. All they care about is themselves. Some easily turn your back on your family members, friends, and even co-workers. When they need you the most, all you thinking about is yourself.

I have a friend who recently admit to me. She said, "I am trying to learn how to not be selfish." I admire her honesty, that she has a problem with selfishness. She was working on herself. How many people out there in the world are willing to work on their selfishness? Even God knows people can be selfish because he said something about it in numerous scriptures. Read 1 Corinthians 13.4: "Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth." Holy Bible.

Let's begin to work on our selfishness, people. Be blessed.
