Let Go of Selfishness

“Days and hours slip away quickly. Do not let a day pass without adding a little joy and hope to someone’s life. Just think of the last time someone extended kindness to you…Do you know that God wants you to extend the same kindness to others that has been extended to you?

What a privilege to love others through kindness, because in doing so, you are expressing the love of God. So do not procrastinate; tomorrow is not promised. Let go of selfishness today.

A popular Quaker saying encourages this sentiment: ‘I shall pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.’

Your little smile, friendly phone call, or helping hands may only take a minute, but it can make a great difference to the recipient. Choosing to make the most of your moments will bless others. The hope you offer in your actions may be just what someone needs… (Hope)
