Tonight's devotion was about how selfishness can kill you. It talked about how people wake up thinking of themselves.
When we read deeper from Luke 9:23-27, it is a passage from Jesus talking about if you are all about yourself you will lose your life, but if you give up your self everyday and follow him then you will live on.
My husband and I talked about it more trying to understand, and I liked one of the things he said. My husband said usually when people sin it is for selfish reasons, so it makes sense that being selfish would not get you into heaven.
So far I have three things on my list for the Dare this week. Most of them are old things that made me angry, and I feel I was more disappointed, which is like a form of anger (I guess). I have been praying that I can let these things go. I often think of them when I am upset and it makes me more upset. I may even keep a list of things that I love about my husband and look at that when I start to feel angry. (Because that is another thing that has been in the devotions this week... to notice when we are getting angry and have a plan to attack it.)
