by Joyce Meyer
Do nothing from factional motives [through
contentiousness, strife, selfishness, or for unworthy ends] or prompted by
conceit and empty arrogance. Instead, in the true spirit of humility (lowliness
of mind) let each regard the others as better than and superior to himself.
—Philippians 2:3
—Philippians 2:3
Having pure motives and humility are required if
you are to fulfil the command to think more highly of others than yourself. In
fact it cannot happen without a willingness to be obedient to the Holy Spirit.
To live in harmony you must recognize and respect
the right of others to disagree with you, and you must do so with a good
attitude. Humility requires that you forgive quickly and frequently...and that
you not be easily offended. You cannot be self seeking, but instead you must be
generous in mercy and patience.
Humble yourself and follow God’s instructions and
you will enjoy the wonderful benefits of obedience: peace, joy, and a powerful,
victorious life.
