I really struggle with this, I am sure those of us with unsaved loved ones feel the same.

I have two ways of looking at this, firstly as someone has already mentioned I am not sure that I am capable of selfless acts, I try but sin is so purvasive in my motivations.

Secondly someone once explained to me that the unsaved are capable of "good" (but is this selfless?) but such good is not meritorious.

I will be interested in what others say.
