What Makes My Kids Cry Today

Today’s featured dialogue:

8-year-old: “You need to do what I want to do.”

6-year-old: “No, I not.”

8-year-old: “Quit being selfie.”

6-year-old: “I’m not being selfie, you are!”

Honestly… same, kids.

We may not yell “You’re being selfie!” at each other in public anymore,

but we do fight to get our own way.

We want our plans, our comfort, our timing.

But scripture flips that script:

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.”

—Philippians 2:3

God isn’t calling us to be selfie—He’s calling us to be servants.

To put others first, even when it’s inconvenient (or unfair).

And to remember that humility is more powerful than getting our way.

So next time you want to yell, “Quit being selfie!”—maybe stop and ask:

Am I being selfie too?
