At the heart of the problems in our relationships is self-centeredness. The engine that runs Christ-like relationships is serving one another in love (Eph. 5:21). But what does a servant's heart look like? Here are three characteristics:

1. The ability to hear criticism without being crushed (lack of self-defensiveness).
2. The ability to give criticism without crushing.
3. The ability to forgive people without residual anger (forgive people and really let it go).

In short, the ability to get your mind off yourself.
