No self ambition

Philippians 2: 2-3

 

²then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. ³Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

 

This is a hard one for a lot of us! We might be able to get two or three of them, but for us to hit all of them is a task……..do nothing out of selfish ambition?? How is your day stacking up? For most of us, the whole day is deduced to nothing more than advance our ideas up the corporate ladder, and cover our backsides! If that is not selfish I do not know what is.

 

SO make tomorrow different, start tomorrow off doing for others. Work to advance the agenda of the Lord. The person that makes you feel so aggravated…..find them, and work for them tomorrow, try and do something that is going to encourage, support, and build up that person. Work to build a relationship. I know what you are thinking….I REALLY don’t like that person….. Why would I want to do anything for that person?? A very smart woman once said “that we are all created in His likeness. That means that inside of everyone of us there is a piece of God.” The people that are easy to love, the people that are hard to love, and the people that you really do not want to love….they all have it. It is in you as well. We are the body of Christ and we all, while very different, are very much the same. Find that person tomorrow, go the extra distance, you might be the person that changes that difficult persons outlook, but then again, the life you change, might just turn out to be your own.
