Selflessness…SO easy, right? Wrong! Since we have been talking this week about being self-seeking, I want to take the next two days to talk about why it’s so easy for us to slip into being self-seeking and what we can do about it.
I think it’s easy to say we know what the good thing to do is, but it’s hard to do. Romans 7, anyone? (“For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.”)
