Removing the Selfish Part of Me


    Selfishness is usually what destroys a home. It's like termites eating away from the inside! For a permanent cure for this problem, we have to do a self-examination. I have to get the selfish part of me out of the way, so we can grow. Jesus said in Matthew 7 that I must first get the beam out of my own eye so I can see clearly to get the mote out of someone else's eye.

    Now how could there be anything more fundamental than that? There's no problem too big to overcome in a family, if a foundation of self-examination and personal integrity is "bedrock" with Mom and Dad. You see, builders can make an unstable house look pretty for a while, but eventually a house without a solid foundation will fall.

    It'll make life work a little better for you today. So take a peek in the mirror and examine your heart and your motives.
