humility

so today at church, donabel talked about the last shall be first & the first shall be last. also in sunday school, we were reading phillipians & how we should be humble. so i think that is my main goal this month. to put others before me. not let the focus be on me, but rather toward others :) i know that its hard cause we all wanna be better than everyone else & outshine others, but god doesnt do that. we try and live CHRISTLIKE, but how can we do that when we aren't putting others before ourselves? this is what we read in sunday school

phillipians 2:3-8 from the NIV
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. 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!

i think that we should all try & become more humble. its tough and challenging, but thats life. we become stronger from tough situations. so im really praying hard about this that i'll stick to my goal & become a better person. i pray that this wont be just a one day thing, but that it'll last forever and i grow more in my faith and relationship with god :)

ephesians 4:2 from the NIV
Be completely gentle and humble; be patient. Bearing with one another in love :)
