How Will This Decision Impact Others?
If we want to build a healthy community and strong relationships, we have to learn to think beyond ourselves…
Let’s face it…we live in a very selfish society…
Scripture is clear, however, that the role of a believer is to consider the interest of others, even before we consider our own. Paul writes, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.” (Philippians 2:3…emphasis mine)
Before we make decisions, a good practice is to ask ourselves “How will this decision impact others?”
If I buy this…
If I control this…
If I say this…
If I allow this…
If I park here…
If I wear this…
If I post this…
If I ignore this…
If I pull out now…
If I ________(What else would you add?)…
Part of loving God and loving others is considering others interests as we make decisions.
In what ways do you need to think beyond yourself?
