In your lives you must think and act like Christ Jesus.
Philippians 2:5
To understand what it means to have the attitude and actions of Jesus alive and working within you, read the Gospels. Note how Jesus treated people. Note his patience, his compassion, and his sacrificial perspective on life. He voluntarily put earthly limitations on his heavenly form in order to bless others. He continually asked his Father for "thy will," not "my will," to be accomplished. Out of anyone who ever lived on this earth, Jesus had more reason to demand that others put him on a pedestal than anyone else. He deserved to be honored and served. Instead, out of an attitude of humility, he chose to be the servant of all.
Your attitude influences your decisions and actions and, ultimately, the effect they have on the lives of others. A selfish, self-centered attitude will eventually lead to self-destruction. A humble, God-centered attitude will lead to deeper personal peace and a greater positive impact on the world around you. It also will bring joy and honor to God, who dearly loves you. Help keep your attitude in check by keeping this in mind.
Love is the motivation behind the attitude that you are asked to emulate. The closer you draw to God, the deeper your love will grow and the more like Jesus your attitude will become.

Pray and give thanks to God for one more day to walk in the footsteps of his son Christ Jesus. That your heart may be transformed to that of a servant's heart. To leave behind days of modern culture, focus on self. For our lives are but a whisper here today, gone tomorrow. Let us serve God and make an impact of love upon our brethren. Lord forgive us when we fail you and thank you for one more day to live through your will. ~ MME Team
