Selfish Part One

I've been writing a series for our students on selfishness. I don't know if it has connected with any of them or with any of the student leaders, but it has been rock'n my world little country girl. We are all selfish and that is pretty easy to admit, but what does selfishness lead to? For Adam and Eve, their selfish decision led to them feeling shame and then hiding from God. For Samson, it led to him losing everything, including his life. For King David, his selfish act with Bathsheba, led to murder and all sorts of chaos with his kingdom. For Peter, it led him to deny he knew Jesus. For Judas, it led to him betraying Jesus. For Rob (sometimes Rob speaks in third person), it leads to over-eating, fussing at people, laziness, continual thoughts about what is best for Rob, not living in the moment, missing out on conversations with the person I am talking to because I see another conversation that I would rather be a part of. The list goes on and on. The point is that we are all selfish, and we can continue to be, but it comes at a cost.
