If then there is any encouragement in Christ, any consolation from love, any sharing in the Spirit, any compassion and sympathy, make my joy complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others. Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited,but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death— even death on a cross (Philippians 2: 1-8)
I would invite you all to read and re-read this wonderful passage from Philippians. All day, throughout the day as the devotion.
These words speak powerfully to the values of Jesus: compassion, humility, obedience, selflessness, courage.
As we live into these values, we will find that the world will begin to look a little more like the Kingdom of God.
May God bless and keep you my friends!
