Seeking the good of others

Matthew 19:21 (NIV) Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

John 13:35 (NIV) By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.

1 Corinthians 10:24 (NIV) Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others.

If our faith does not touch people with love it's selfish, a blessing only to us. —Mary Taylor Previte
