by grace we are being sanctified.

one of the greatest things i want out of life is to truly love others more than myself, and have the outpouring of that love manifest in service. our selfish nature makes this a nearly unattainable task. i find myself saying and doing things because its what i want....because its what i feel....because i want a certain outcome or because i want someone to view me in a certain light. how self-centered. this is a humbling realization.
