Philippians 2
SCRIPTURE:
In the process of finishing up that work, Epaphroditus put his life on the line and nearly died doing it. Philippians 2:30 THE MESSAGE
In Philippians 2:20-21 Paul spoke of Timothy: "I have no one else like him, who takes a genuine interest in your welfare. For everyone looks out for his own interest, not those of Jesus Christ."
What is the connection between taking an interest in the welfare of others and looking out for the interests of Jesus?
Name someone who needs your sacrificial love. What can you do to "look out for the interests of Jesus" in this situation?
List five tangible ways you can express the sacrificial love of Christ in the next week.
Did I take the time to really listen to someone today, with rapt attention, as if nothing else mattered in that precious moment but the words they spoke and the look in their eyes?
Did I let go today, let go of resentments and unforgivingness that I have been holding onto, all the while realising that another person may be wounded too and struggling with their own pain?
Was I kind today to anyone or anything that crossed my path, no matter how trivial or how monumental? Did I give away my heart?
Will someone sleep better tonight because of me? Will they awaken in the morning believing in themselves again, and walk with their head held high?
Was I the answer to someone's prayers today?
If today was to be my last day on the planet, would I feel happy about how I lived it?
