Life in a "me" world can be rough. Many succumb to the narcissistic ideology that the world revolves around them. With so much time and energy spent on themselves, very little is left in the tank for others.
But Jesus reminds us we are to follow his model: "I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you." (Jn. 13:15) And if we're concerned with what this will cost us in terms of giving up some of ourselves, Jesus follows with the what's in it for me clause: "Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.(Jn. 13:17)
To be truly blessed, rich, happy or whatever you want to call it, the answer is found not in what you get, but rather in what you give. Today, do something for someone else. Demonstrate your faith. Live strong. Love life.
