Get Your Eye off Yourself

 “Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.”  Philippians 2:4, NASB

What’s the cure for selfishness?

Get yourself out of your eye by getting your eye off yourself. Quit staring at that little self and focus on your great Savior . . .

Focus on the encouragement in Christ, the consolation of Christ, the love of Christ, the fellowship of the Spirit, the affection and compassion of heaven….- Max Lucado
