The Light Daily Devotional – Avoid Selfish People
Focus: Avoid Selfish people
The word for today
Selfish people are those who are primarily concerned with their own needs and desires, often at the expense of others. Avoiding selfish people is vital for healthy relationships and personal growth!
Scriptural Reference
“For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and every kind of evil.” James 3:16 NLT
When it comes to relationships, it is important to be wary of selfish people. These individuals are primarily concerned with their own needs, desires, and goals, often at the expense of others. Relationships with selfish people often lead to disappointment, frustration, and even retrogression.
Selfish people have a way of manipulating and using those around them to fulfill their ambitions. They may make promises they never intend to keep or only engage with others when it benefits them. This type of behavior is not only detrimental to others but can also be harmful to the selfish person, as it can lead to a lack of trust, respect, and genuine connections with others.
According to 1 Corinthians 10:24, selfishness is not only harmful but goes against the principles of Christianity. Instead, we are called to seek the well-being of others and act selflessly in our relationships.
+ Who are your friends and people?
Prayer: Lord! I receive the grace to relate and connect with the right people in the journey of destiny in Jesus’ name. Amen!
Emphasis: Be cautious about entering into close relationships with those who exhibit selfish tendencies, as it can lead to negative consequences for both parties involved!
Have a Wonderful Thursday!
