"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves." -Philippians 2:3 (NIV)
Before we act or react, we should stop and think. Consideration of our words and actions may prevent future issues. There are many reasons that we may give to explain our actions, but it would be best if we act with motives that don't need explaining!
God calls us to follow Him. He gave us Jesus as an example. In His time on earth, Jesus acted out of compassion and humility...even though He is God! Jesus didn't compromise His ideals, but His actions allowed others to join Him. When we act, we need to be humble and kind. We don't want our actions to push others away from us or from God. Instead, we need to be loving and willing to show others the way to God!
Be humble in your actions and allow others to see God through you!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for You love, patience, and compassion. Help my words and actions to be out of humility and love so others can see You. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
