“What does it look like for you and I today to look to the interest of others?”
“Look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. It’s a call to action to consider others before yourself, and to value others above yourself.” Philippians 2:4
Even now, He is looking to our interest. With the Spirit of Jesus inside of us, what does it look like for you and I today to look to the interest of others? That’ll change our perspective on your day.
Jesus, being God in His very nature, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped. He made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
So we see a picture of the love, grace and self-sacrifice in Jesus. Soak that in for a second. Jesus looks to your interests, Jesus gave His life for you, not just for the past.
Have this mind among ourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus.
