'Christ Attitude'

Scripture
Phil 2:5  Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus.
Romans 12:3 For through the grace given me, do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.


Observation
Be like Christ!  Die to your own fleshly desires & comforts, and do not think of yourself more highly than you should, but with sound judgment, in faith, use the gifts God has given you to help others.  Speak encouragement, love all people, be available, show affection, be compassionate, work together with a focused purpose, don't be selfish, & develop a servant heart, and smile more - that's a 'Christ Attitude!' and I want it!


Application
What can I do?  Humble myself.  Love, serve, and forgive, and ask God for the Holy Spirit to empower me to live with a 'Christ Attitude' every day, all my life.


Prayer
Father help me to have a 'Christ Attitude' all the time.  May Your Holy Spirit purge those things in me that just don't belong in a Christ follower.  Give me what I need to accomplish all you want me to do and how you want me to be.  In Jesus Name, A-men.
