"Jesus was the perfect example of how to live selflessly. Throughout Scripture we see numerous examples of Him serving the needs of others. He went out of His way to talk to people whom everyone else avoided. He healed people of diseases and showed compassion to the needy.
Do we live a life that could be considered selfless? It's important as followers of Jesus that our life looks different from the rest of the world that doesn't serve God.
As difficult as it can sometimes be, we should always consider the needs of others. We remember how we felt as children when someone else got the last cookie or piece of cake. It was disappointing. We thought life wasn't fair! As adults, we should live in a way that makes us willing to share our last cookie, or be willing to give someone else the coat off our backs.

We should be generous in how we serve other people. Instead of doing the minimum of what we think God wants of us, we should do more, without hesitation.
And we should be joyful when we serve others. There is no point in being selfless as a follower of Jesus if we do it begrudgingly. It should bring us joy to share God's love.
Jesus set the ultimate example of selflessness. With His help, we can also serve others in a way that honors God.
