Phillipians 2: 5-11
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Verses 1-4 says “So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being 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 count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”
Inhale: I don’t love my neighbor as I should.
Exhale: Jesus, you did it all for love. Fill me with the love that YOU have for my neighbor.
Inhale: I feel the weight of divisiveness within my own heart and world around me.
Exhale: Jesus, you came for unity. In your power, would you help me be a vessel of unity to ultimately help people see and come to you.
Inhale: I am so selfish.
Exhale: Jesus, you displayed the ultimate act of selflessness. Help me follow your example and give me humility to consider others and their interests.
Thank you Jesus.
