Putting others first

We must put aside the love and concern we have for ourselves to make room for the love of another. God's love is all around us all the time. If we make room, he will surely come in.
Our ego doesn't want to be dependent on anyone; it wants to be dependent on us, so we appear to be someone special. But there is only One that is not dependent on anyone and that is God!
Humility causes us to begin to fit into God's kingdom and into the purpose He has for our lives which is fellowship with Himself.

Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. (Philippians 2:3, 4 NLT)

So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Don’t give offense to Jews or Gentiles or the church of God. I, too, try to please everyone in everything I do. I don’t just do what is best for me; I do what is best for others so that many may be saved. (1 Corinthians 10:31-33 NLT)
