Three Relationship Killjoys

Selfishness
19
Selfishness says, I want what I want
20
James 41-2 (TEV)
Where do all the fights and quarrels among you
come from? They come from your desires for
pleasure, which are constantly fighting within
you.
21
James 41-2 (TEV)
You want things, but you cannot have them, so you
are ready to kill you strongly desire things,
but you cannot get them, so you quarrel and
fight. You do not have what you want because you
do not ask God for it.
22
James 316 (NLT)
For wherever there is jealousy and selfish
ambition, there you will find disorder and every
kind of evil.

depression, But a good word makes

blessings come from giving than from receiving.

Rejoice in the Lord alway and again I say,
Rejoice.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life in thy

there are pleasures for evermore.
