Today, while in church, our pastor used a verse from Philippians. And just like any other time, I casually turned to the verse he referenced and read along. But I didn’t stop. I just kept reading and reading. I don’t know why, but for some odd reason this book really spoke with to me today.
Philippians 2:1-4. “Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort in love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded having the same love, being one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.”
We tend to think of love as a reciprocal. If I love you, then you must love me, or vice versa. But it shouldn’t be that way. We should love, regardless of circumstance or situation. I have been struggling a lot with this lately because of my room mate. I’m no gonna lie, the next eight months with her are gonna be hard, but I just need to remember to love her no matter what and speak to her with love and patience.
Philippians 2:14 “Do all things without complaining or disputing.”
That verse speaks for itself. Through out the week I feel like I do nothing but complain about all the homework I have or how tired I am. Obviously this needs to change.
