A lady once heard that if a dog owner pretends to be hurt, a dog with a bad temper may try to bite the owner. But a good dog will show concern and may lick the fallen owner’s face.

She decided to put her own two dogs to the test. While eating pizza in her living room, she stood up, clutched her heart, screamed and fell to the floor. Her two dogs looked at her, looked at each other, then raced to the coffee table for her pizza!

Our sinful nature makes us tend to be selfish. We have to allow the Spirit of God in us to take control of any situation where we have an opportunity to ignore our own desires in order to take care of someone else’s needs.

“…Love your neighbor as yourself…”—Leviticus 19:18.
