John 3:9-21, Love vs Selfishness

“For God loved the world in this way: 

He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 

This is the judgment: 

The light (Jesus) has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the light and avoids it, so that his deeds may not be exposed. But anyone who lives by the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be shown to be accomplished by God.””

‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭17‬, ‭19‬-‭21‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Read Context

God, thank You for loving me!  I don’t deserve the love that You show me because my natural desire is to do what makes me happy, or at least less stressed.  Help me to love You enough to always go into the light, go towards You, rather than avoiding it because it convicts me of my selfish ways.
