I'm still learning..

Don't be selfish; don't live to make a good impression on others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourself. 

Don't think only about your own affairs, but be interested in others, too, and what they are doing. 

Your attitude should be the same that Christ Jesus had. 

Though he was God, he did not demand and cling to his rights as God.

He made himself nothing; he took the humble position of a slave and appeared in human form.

And in human form he obediently humbled himself even further by dying a criminal's death on a cross. 

Because of his, God raised him up to the heights of heaven and gave him a name that is above every other name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 

-- Philippians 2: 3-11

Incredibly convicting words that Paul wrote.. I'm still learning how to have such a humble, selfless, giving attitude in all that I do. I am also reminded in these verses of how much praise and glory we should give Jesus Christ. "Every knee will bow" is what it says... so often I don't bow in reverent worship enough. 


Holy Holy Holy 
is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of Kings
You are my everything
And I will adore You
