>Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in 
>very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be 
>grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, 
>being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he 
>humbled himself and became obedient to death -- even death on a cross!
>--Philippians 2:5-8
>New International Version

>THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
>"Lord, humble us gently." That is one of my friend's favorite prayers. I 
>like it, too. But thank God that Jesus was not gently humbled. While I 
>hate he had to go through agony, his self-emptying humility the fact that 
>was stark, bold, drastic, and outrageous. But I am to have this same 
>attitude when it comes to reaching the lost and loving God's children.
>
>MY PRAYER...
>God, you are all-powerful and yet you emptied yourself to redeem me. May I 
>be more selfless in my attitude and treatment of others, like Jesus was 
>with me. In his name, I pray. Amen.
