Selfishness

Selfishness is of the Devil and is the opposite of love. Instead of giving to others, you giving to yourself. You think of nobody but you. Selfishness is all about me. “What about me.” “Who cares about you? It’s all about me.” Selfish people have a mindset where you can’t see anybody but you. They have a hard time giving and if they give something, it is because they want something in return; that is not love. Love is giving of yourself. That took a long time for me to understand, because I was a selfish person. I held things against people who didn’t do anything to me, because I wanted to hurt people who hurt me. But, the only thing I was doing was holding myself in bondage, and not choosing to be set myself free. That’s how the Devil deceives people into not receiving joy, peace and happiness, because he doesn’t want them to see the truth. When I came to the understanding that God loves me and he only wants the best for me, I had to make up my mind and decide if I wanted to be in bondage or to be set free. I chose to be set free! I feel so much better, because I don’t walk around in bondage and feeling sad about something that happened years ago. To make it even more crystal clear, you can’t change time. The only thing you can do is move forward and forgive yourself and others.
