Self preservation vs self sacrifice
Where is your focus?
Is it working to get "things" to make life easier or is working to make a difference in a life somehow?
Is it having friends who can give to you or is having friends that you can give to?
Is it going to church to make yourself feel spiritual or is it going to church to reach out and serve others?
Sometimes it's good to ask yourself these questions and answer honestly
Where is your heart....really?
Don't be selfish; don't live to make a good impression on others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourself. Don't think only about your own affairs,but be interested in others,too, and what they are doing
Philippians 2: 3,4

These are great questions to always remember! It's a self examination that I think we all need to take possibly daily. Keeps us alive spiritually and in tune with what God wants, not us. This goes back to the scripture: Lam. 3:40 "Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord." / 2 Corin. 13:5 "Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you - unless of course you fail the test?"
Great questions!
