Selfish intentions - always wrong! God can only work in our hearts and souls when we give all of ourselves over to Him. Ego must go. Those who would be first must become last.

It was those who were excluded who many times truly understood who Jesus was, while the elite completely missed Him.

Sometimes we gate-crash an event only with selfish intentions, not bothering about the real needy. Similarly, some of us, use their money-power to have precedence over others who may be waiting in the queue for hours together. Your thoughts are so noble!<br />Thank you for this eye-opener.
