..."making yourself less in order to make others more"...
Perhaps it caught my attention because of all the stumbling of late... it's harder to trip over a small rock...
..."making yourself less in order to make others more"...
too much of me... making another... less...
..."making yourself less in order to make others more"...
It's what God did... Jesus... emptied... from infinite... to embryonic... from renowned Rabbi... to crucified criminal...
..."making yourself less in order to make others more"...
As followers... it's what we're called to do...
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. ...
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 2:3-7
(my emphasis)
..."making yourself less in order to make others more"...
Its what I've been stumbling over lately... the call to be less... that others might be more...
Lord Jesus... help me remember...
truly... truly...
