In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus
Philippians 2:5 NIV
I was in a particularly grumpy mood this morning. I could have made a list of things to complain about. Yet as I began my prayer time and devotional reading I came into a right frame of mind. Soon I was journaling and making a list of things that I am most thankful for.
As I thought of individuals that I could have complained about my mind went to the words found in Philippians 2:5.
I turned to Philippians 2 prepared to read of Christ's humility and, as I began to read Philippians 2, I was not prepared for the conviction of the Holy Spirit that followed.
Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ?
Is there any comfort from his love?
Is there aby fellowship together in the Spirit?
Is your heart tender and compassionate?
Although these are rhetorical questions shared with the church by Paul, let me invite you to consider them -let me encourage you to ponder them.
Are you enjoying the encouragement - the comfort - the fellowship - of Christ's presence in your life?
Are your thoughts - your motives - your actions marked by tenderness and compassion?
Do you have the mindset of Christ?
