I Corinthians 13:5 “Love is not self-seeking.”

Selflessness in the Bible is an attitude and way of life that prioritizes the needs, interests, and welfare of others before one’s own. It embodies the spirit of love, humility, and servitude that Jesus Christ exemplified during His earthly Ministry. Selflessness is a true reflection of Christ’s love and character…as we model seeking the good of others, not our own good. (I Corinthians 10:24) But selflessness rubs against our selfish human nature, and it takes a concerted effort on our part to place other’s needs before ours. That’s when the word JOY can be a help. JOY stands for Jesus, others, and yourself…which means our priority is always Jesus first, others second, and ourselves last…which in the end, brings joy into our life.
