Self . ( Galatians 2 v 20 )

An Olympian athlete was devastated when she discovered she was pregnant. As an athlete, she is by her own admission,''selfish'',but with her first child due in August,soon she won't be able to put herself first. So read the article,I found it interesting and challenging, it is Selwyn Hughes who write about the problem  of self in one of his daily readings.Self,self, self, it read and he quoted 2 Cor 4 v 15,  ''And He died for all,that those who live should no linger live for themselves,but for Him who died for them''.I will share a few things that he wrote,'' Human fallenness  is basically human selfishness'',''In the centre of the word 'Sin',is the letter 'I''.'''Self in our hands is a pain; in God's hands  it is a possibility''.                                                                                                                                                                                             Matthew 22 v 36 - 40                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Teacher which is the greatest commandment in                                                                                          the law.Jesus replied; 'Love the Lord your God                                                                                        with all your heart and with all your soul and                                                                                            with all your mind. This is first and greatest                                                                                              commandment. And the second is like it; Love                                                                                        your neighbour as yourself'.All the law and the                                                                                        prophets hang on these two commandments.''
