The Glory of God before self

Let us therefore not seek our own but that which pleases the Lord, and is helpful to the promotion of his glory.
There is a great advantage in almsot forgetting ourselves and in surely neglecting all selfish aspects; for then only can we try faithfully to devote our attention to God and his commandments.
For when Scripture tells us to discard all personal selfish considerations, it does not only exclude from our minds the desire for wealth, the lust of power, and the favour of men, but it also banishes false ambitions and hunger for human glory with other more secret evils.
Indeed, a Christian ought to be disposed and prepared to keep in mind that he has to reckon with God every moment of his life [John Calvin]
