Philippians 2:21 -- On Seeking Christ

"For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s."
Philippians 2:21


This verse is sadly true, and something that we should probably work on, because seeking the things that are Christ's are exactly the things that will make us better people--kinder, more compassionate, more confident and bold, whole and satisfied, more peaceful and happy... and so much more.

Christ leads us to everything good, and is the way that we become who we want to be.  He can help us overcome even our own weaknesses and mental blocks.

Today, let's consider doing things God's way and walking in the path of Christ.  He will help us look outward and build community--to care for the people around us, and get outside ourselves more.  As we do, we will learn what it takes to be happy, and practice and get better at love and service.  Let's look beyond ourselves for the answers.  Let's look to God, who will help us see ourselves, and every other person and thing, from a better perspective.
