What if you are someone who struggles with selfishness? How do I get past it?

Read Ephesians 4:28 and journal your thoughts

Did you notice the transition there? If you are the type of person who has had a problem with stealing, not stealing is only part of the solution. We are also supposed to do something, we are told to create something and give it away.

It’s interesting isn’t it? So many times it seems like the goal of following Jesus is to simply get back to that Garden of Eden state of being where we are free from sin. But this is not what Paul seems to be saying here, is that God does not just want us to get back to square one, simply not sinning. Instead God pushes us to do something good and give it away.

Today pray that God would help not only to give up the areas of your life where you may be selfish but to show you how to turn that negative into a positive.
