Self edification leads to self edification
Doing things to please my own flesh.
Keep track of that.
I am a bastard.
Keep track of my own assholeness.
I am the biggest ass hole.
One more thing I wanted to say.
Stop counting how many times you do good.
Start counting how much of an ass hole you are.
Especially when you do nice things for people just so you can benefit yourself.
I am an ass hole. My mother knows it.
I am an asshole. I am unhappy unless I win.
Edification means to benefit. Edify one another, not yourself.
I seek my own good.
I seek my own good.
I seek my own good.
God doesn't help people like that.
God doesn't want to help me if I continue this way.
I ought to seek the good of others.
I need to participate in activities that
E d I f y.
Edify one another.
If the activity edifies myself, and only myself, don't do it.
If the activity can only result in the edification of one person, don't do it.
Edify one another. Do not risk your life. Do not waste your life participating in activities that have low edification.
Edify one another.
If two actions are available, choose the action that edifies others.
Always edify others.

Don't worry about being sacrificial and burnout. Let God handle that.
My commandment is to obey.
Seek first the interest of the people around me.
Start keeping track of all the activities that are questionable in the area of edification.
Playing smash with my brother in real life? Somewhat edifying, except only one player wins.
Playing basketball? Only one team wins. You feel bad if you sucked.
Buying takeout for myself? That edifies myself and not my wife. It hurts her finances.
Edify others. This is your first step after abandoning your demon's.
You must minister to others, always.
Do not edify yourself. Edify others only.
