Reflection Questions

April 12, 2026

Where do you most often see selfishness show up in your relationships—wanting your way, your timing, or your preferences?

Think about a recent conflict. How might that situation have revealed something inside of you, rather than just something wrong with the other person?

In what ways do you tend to view life as scarce (like there’s “not enough” to go around), and how does that shape how you treat others?

Do you tend to lean more toward selfishness (putting yourself first) or self-neglect (ignoring your own needs)? How has that affected your relationships?

Have you ever avoided expressing your needs or desires to keep peace? What did that produce in you over time (e.g., resentment, distance, exhaustion)?

When have you been labeled “selfish” for setting a healthy boundary or prioritizing the right things? How did that shape your thinking?

Where are you currently looking for security, affirmation, or worth from other people instead of from God?

How might your relationships change if you truly believed that God is generous and that you are deeply loved and secure in Him?

What is one relationship where you need to grow in honestly expressing your needs, rather than hiding them?

What is one relationship where you need to grow in listening and prioritizing the needs of someone else, even when it costs you something?
