"Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross." -Philippians 2:5-8 (NASB)
There are times or situations in our lives that may require us to sacrifice or give of ourselves. It may require giving our time, our talents, or even more. We may feel limitations on how much we are able or willing to give. When we think about the earthly life of Jesus, we are reminded of true sacrifice and giving!
When we think about our willingness to sacrifice and give, we should consider the attitude of Jesus. Jesus was willing to become human. He endured the heartache and temptation that comes with being human. He demonstrated love, compassion, and caring. Above all, He willingly accepted the sin of the world, even though He was blameless. God may ask us to give of ourselves or sacrifice. When He calls on us, we need to remember the sacrifices that have been made for us!
Strive to have the attitude of Jesus and be willing to sacrifice and give for God!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for sending Your Son and for His sacrifice for me. Help me to live each day with an attitude of sacrifice and giving like Jesus demonstrated. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
