1 Peter 5:5
A hard thing to do, of course, but I really like the idea of us all being subject to each other... choosing humility before choosing pride and selfishness. Maybe taking time to listen and understand someone else's point of view before expressing our own. Perhaps deferring to others in conflicts rather than trying to prove that we're right. This one thing seems like it could change the world for the better.
Today, let's try to imagine what the world would be like with a little bit more giving way to others rather than insisting on our own way (not in a scary/dangerous peer pressure way, but in a kind, generous, humble way where we're listening to each other, never trying to bully each other). And once we've consulted with God to get a little guidance and we have an idea of what we'd like the world to look like, let's work on living that way, and helping that dream to happen.
