God said to Solomon, “Because your greatest desire is to help your people, and you did not ask for wealth, riches, fame, or even the death of your enemies or a long life, but rather you asked for wisdom and knowledge to properly govern my people—I will certainly give you the wisdom and knowledge you requested. But I will also give you wealth, riches, and fame such as no other king has had before you or will ever have in the future!” [2 Chronicles 1.11-12]
Want to please God? Then put the needs and welfare of others above your own desires.
If this event in the life of Solomon doesn't provide enough proof that selflessness pleases God, then surely the life of Jesus does.
Father, help us to see that selflessness is what really pleases You.
