So first day of Spring....
And what did you do?
- caught put with girls from church to share life, hang out, read up on Philippians 2: 1-18
- had an interesting discussion about humility and what it means.
"the quality of having a modest or low view of one’s importance" - Oxford dictionary
It's a self awareness of who you are; how insignificant in reality you are in the grand scheme of things
How it's acted out in Christian living _
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others" Phil 2: 3-4
Opposite of pride, yep. I'm sure all would agree. aka. don't be boastful, even if you are right, even if you have the "right", authority, status etc, you let go of that "I'm better than you, I don't you so/put down attitude".
But there's more....
For a Christian they had a perfect role model that exhibited humility. "In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

For a Christian they had a perfect role model that exhibited humility. "In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!" Phil 2:5-8
God....coming to earth to die?? Pfftt...why? Out of love, to take on the punishment of death for humans. As we all fall short of his standards, we rebel against his authority to rule, we want to be our own kings, we ignore him, we think he doesn't exist. We are all held accountable to our actions, and pretty much we all fail and don't pass this judgement test. But through Christ taking the punishment in our place, if you believe it, you are free. Free to live a life for him. Died with Christ, resurrected with Christ. ...and what for?
To love God, love others.
Each other's needs to prefer,
but pride gets in the way>.>
what a shame .
