Since birth, more often than not, people have had the, It's all about me mindset.
An infant comes into the world and demands what it wants.
The infant cries, no matter the time of day or night.
He wants a diaper change, or is hungry, wants to be held, or just your attention.
No, it doesn't matter that you are sleep, or busy doing other things, or plain old tired.
That baby wants what it wants NOW!
Okay, he is just a baby and can't do for himself & is dependent on you,
but here we are, not still infants, with this same infant selfish mentality.
It's all about me, isn't it?
You are willing to help others, or act on something if in some way it is a benefit to you.
I am sure you get the picture I am painting however sad but true it maybe.
There are often kind deeds done but with wrong motive.
2Timothy 3:2-5"People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God- having a form of godliness but denying it's power..." This is a description of signs of the last days. I would say were already there, because...
It's all about me Isn't it?
There's a change needed in this mindset.
When you do your good deeds, check your true motives.
