Am I Selfish?

1 Corinthians 10:24(ESV) 24 Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.

James 3:16 (ESV)16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.

Luke 6:32-34(ESV)  32 “If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

Philippians 2:3-4(ESV)  3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Galatians 5:26(ESV)  26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7(ESV) 4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;[b] 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Beauty

Something I ran across that I think Every Christian woman should check out! Its a great reminder! A Great lesson for our Daughters too!!!
by Carolyn Mahaney
Our culture encourages women to cultivate a beauty that is skin-deep. God, however, tells us to pursue an inner beauty of great worth. A woman who cultivates inner beauty, who fears God and lives to serve others, makes a difference in people’s lives. Her beauty makes a lasting impact on the lives she touches.
Which beauty are we seeking to cultivate? Are we intentionally cultivating inner beauty, or do we give more attention to the outward appearance? The way we think about and attend to our personal appearance is really a mirror of our hearts. By reflecting either godly motivations or selfish motivations, we reveal whether our priority is to cultivateinner beauty or outer beauty.
Here’s a “heart check” test for the purpose of self-examination—questions to help us discern our thoughts, motives, and goals with regard to the issue of beauty.
1. Do I spend more time daily caring for my personal appearance than I do in Bible study, prayer, and worship?
2. Do I spend excessive money on clothes, hair, and makeup, or is it an amount that is God-honoring?
3. Do I want to lose weight to “feel better about myself,” or do I desire to be self-disciplined for the glory of God?
4. Am I on a quest for thinness to impress others, or do I seek to cultivate eating habits that honor God?
5. Do I exercise to try to create or maintain a “good figure,” or do I exercise to strengthen my body for God’s service?
6. Is there anything about my appearance that I wish I could change, or am I fully grateful to God for the way He created me?
7. Am I jealous of the appearance of others, or am I truly glad when I observe other women who are more physically attractive than I?
8. Do I covet the wardrobe of others, or do I genuinely rejoice when other women are able to afford and purchase new clothing?
9. When I attend an event or activity, do I sinfully compare myself with others, or do I go asking God to show me whom to love and how to do it?
10. Do I ever dress immodestly or with the intent of drawing attention to myself, or do I always dress in a manner that pleases God?
Asking these questions on a consistent basis can help us weed out worldly values and cultivate a heart for God’s priorities.

grown up

I have a plan and you don't need to know about it.. I know what I'm doing... You guys don't need to know

the words of an 18 yr old with aspergers...
am I not supposed to worry?
She Doesn't know what she is doing!  She isn't mature, not as mature as the average 18 yr old, which isn't terribly mature to start with but she is a dreamer.. a 6th grader with stars in her eyes and big dreams of what all she can do.. but she can't do her own homework!
My heart is broken
she doesn't see that she is so innocent and so naive  and so ignorant of the ways of the world. ... I wish I could tell her what I have learned ... all learned the hard way,,, my heart just hurts for her cause I see her heading for learning everything the hard way
the reason I write tonight is so that when she comes and says that she didn't know what she was doing... I can show her that she was  very adamant that she did indeed know exactly what she was doing.. she knows it all and won't hear us

Im sad for her
