WORD OF HOPE FOR TODAY by Ptr. Rolly
Custodio
PRACTICE YOURSELF BEING UNSELFISH (Part-1)
“You
must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.”Php 2:5 NLT
Today’s Insight
Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest
in others, too” (v. 4 NLT). Spiritual maturity is the ability to see and act in
the best interests of others. Immature people have difficulty seeing things
from someone else’s point of view. They rarely concern themselves with what’s
best for the other guy. In many ways they’re like children. In “Property Law as
Viewed by a Toddler,” Michael V. Hernandez describes the world from a typical
child’s viewpoint:
(1) If I like it, it’s mine.
(2) If it’s in my hand, it’s mine.
(3) If I can take it from you, it’s mine.
(4) If I had it a little while ago, it’s mine.
(5) If it’s mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
(6) If I’m doing or building something, all the pieces are mine.
(7) If it looks like mine, it’s mine.
(8) If I saw it first, it’s mine.
(9) If I can see it, it’s mine.
(10) If I think it’s mine, it’s mine.
Unfortunately, maturity doesn’t always come with age; sometimes
age comes alone. You must fight your inherent selfish attitude, and that can be
a lifelong battle. But it’s an important one, because if you don’t win you’ll
end up focused on your own agenda and overlook other people. Unless somebody’s
important to your cause or your interests, they won’t get your time or attention.
Application
The Bible says, “Youmust have the same attitude that Christ
Jesus had,” and everything He did, He did for others. Bottom line: If you’re
serious about following in His footsteps, practice being unselfish.
Today’s
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, Thank you for your Word today. Lord thank you for teaching me to be humble
ourselves and to look for the good of others. Lord strengthens me to serve you
and others without any personal motive but only to serve you. Allow your Holy
Spirit to remind me always to practice myself being unselfish that others may
be blessed because you Lord lives in me for your glory In Jesus’ Name. Amen!
Prayer for Salvation

of all my sins and I receive you into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior
