Christ is one person who does not cease to amaze me.I'm amazed at how he's able to forget Himself and focus on other people's needs;while he is need the most.I think of Him in Gethsemane,sorrowful,yet even there He was able to forget Himself -to care for His disciples' well being and yield to His mission.I think of how in the cross He was able to pray for others,those reviling Him.
I'd love to be like Him.For some reason,when I'm going through something,my mind tends to be centered on the issue,until it is resolved.Somehow,along the way,I get weary and I get absorbed in other things,and by the time I look,all has changed.And I can only ask,where was I all this time?
I need the mind of Christ.That's the only solution.
"5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."-Philippians 2:5
"Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others."-Philippians 2:3-4
"Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth."-1 Corinthians 10:24
In need of a renewed mind.
