Selflessness is a Romance

A discipline is a pursuit. It is work. But the discipline of selflessness is also an affair of the heart. It is a desire, a romance.

The discipline of selflessness can be overshadowed by the busy-ness of life, work, family, hobbies and even the actual work of service - even the work of godly service.

What the discipline requires, and if you are a believer, what God requires, is the passion at the core of your heart. Do you desire to be of service to others? Does your heart yearn to give of yourself?
