Having Christ's Humility

What does it mean to have Christ's humility? The definition of humility is: the quality or condition of being humble; modest opinion or estimate of one's own importance, rank, etc. In our society being humble or having humility just doesn't fit. But when Christ came he gave us an example of what it is to have humility. In Philippians 2 verse 3 it says we are to, "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better then yourselves. Verse 4 continues, "Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." It is so easy to get caught up in ourselves and our own lives. But Jesus came and humbled himself and gave himself to humanity. He didn't say, "I'm God, so I'll just think of what I want." He became a servant and thought of others first. It says in verse 7 that, "He made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant...." Today I just want to focus on what God wants me to do to serve others. Today I am praying...for friends and family. It's early in the morning, but I put aside my being tired of think of others needs. I don't want to serve others to get ahead or be important. I don't want to serve others so I look good. I want humility to realize that others need Christ, and I want to serve with this attitude so others who need Jesus will find him. It's not easy to be humble or to have this attitude. I must pray everyday that God will help me to think of others first and to put on his attitude. God, help us all to have your humility and love for humanity. You humbled yourself to be a servant...even on to death. Use my life as service to others so that they may know you.
