When I am with people who share my views, am I striving to advance my own ambitions, or can I set aside rivalry and conceit and put the the interests of others ahead of my own?
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,” Philippians 2:3
Strive to humbly be of service to others.

Service is tough. The Me-First mentality is for reals. Thanks for this great reminder.
So true krcc. Thank you for your post!
This was a needed devotional thought for my day, Bill. My link with the US these days is confined to CNN and other news sources, but the incivility and anger of the prevailing culture has even contaminated Christians. I am in constant vigilance for this in myself, and in prayer for the Christian community. It is ruining credibility of Evangelicals as models of Christ and of love.
Well said. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Bev!
