Have the Attitude of Christ

Philippians 2:1-11

1 Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate? 2 Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose.

3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.

5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

6 Though he was God,

Or Being in the form of God.

he did not think of equality with God

as something to cling to.

7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges

Greek he emptied himself; he took the humble position of a slave

Or the form of a slave.

and was born as a human being.

When he appeared in human form,#

Some English translations put this phrase in verse 8.

8 he humbled himself in obedience to God

and died a criminal’s death on a cross.

9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor

and gave him the name above all other names,

10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,

in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the Father.

    wow! i need to think about others, not focus on myself as selfish. it stings my heart about not thinking about others if they need help. sometime, I'm tired of heard others' complain. but i didn't humble by God. it impacts me now, God had been heard us complain or upset or crying or yelling or etc like that, but God didn't complain and wont listen to me or others..

   two weeks ago,  i did yelling at God about why i married my husband for?!?! showed me the sign! i did give my stinking attitude to God and not VERY humble, but God DID answered my question. know why? God told my husband to walk towards me and hugged me. i was like, oh... God you are actually listening to me? i can felt that God laughs and said that is okay.. i know you are angry at me but i still love you and want to showed you why i wanted you to marry him for. i had perfect plan for you and your hubby. i was like, WELP! i need to be humble and praying instead of yelling as selfish.. God didn't selfish by himself, he was willing to sent HIS son on the earth for sacrifice! if God don't sent his son on the earth, it is selfish.. he wants everyone to know about Jesus Christ... that is good attitude and unselfish and humble.. when Jesus was on the earth, he never tired of people who complains on him. he was willing to listen and showed the love.. it is grace/truth! i realized today that i was selfish on my husband and my friends, too.. i admit that I'm tired of heard complain but i have to learn to be humble and listen... it is my comfort to not listening complain or something like that.. god is good to me as ALWAYS! :0) now, I'm changing the way and willing to listen to others.  that is my share to telling! :0)
