Philippians 2:2-3 -- On Seeing Others

"Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves."
Philippians 2:2-3


I like this idea of how to find unity and oneness with each other. Instead of feeling competitive with other people, or like we are in power struggles, the idea is to feel like we're surrounded by cool, interesting people that we can learn from. I don't think that is always an easy thing, but if we ask Christ to help us, yoked together with us, to see others as he does, to feel love for them and see how cool they are, individually, then of course with God all things are possible, even the things he asks us to do that are hard, like loving our enemies. :)

Today, let's join with Christ and with his help really see others... see the good in them, see how to love them and help them, and see that we are not superior to any of them, but rather part of them, working together with them to make a better world, and that they each have something to teach us.
