Selflessness
Romans 15:1-3 KJV
[1] We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
[2] Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
[3] For even Christ pleased not himself; ... it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
It is a good thing to esteem others better than oneself but it is not an easy thing. It is very difficult to please another and displease yourself, but Christ's wants us to please, esteem and value others better than ourselves, solely for the edification of the other person.
This is the beginning of seeking and pursuing peace as we were instructed by God, Psalms 34:14. Remember that as Christians we are to follow after our master just as He sought for our good and salvation and not His.
Beloved, may the spirit of God empower us (that are strong by His Grace) to always seek for the salvation and good of the weak. May Jehovah endue us with the selfless heart. Shalom!!!
