----Encourage One Another ~

---LOVE IN ACTION ~~

"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.
Rather, in humility value others above yourselves."--
--(Philippians 2:3)

--"Do you have a few items you'd like me to wash?" I asked a visitor to our home in London. His face lit up, and as his daughter walked by, he said, "Get your dirty clothes--Amy's doing our laundry!" I smiled, realizing that my offer had been extended from a few items to a few loads. -

Later as I hung clothes outside on the line, a phrase from my morning's Bible reading floated through my mind: "In humility value others above yourselves." (Philippians 2:3). Paul exhorts us to live worthy of Christ's calling through service and unity with others. He knows that unity enables us to stay strong in faith.

We might claim to love others without selfish ambition or vain conceit, but the true state of our hearts isn't revealed until we put our love into action. Though I felt tempted to grumble, I knew that as a follower of Christ, my call was to put my love for my friends into practice--with a clean heart.

My we find ways to serve our family, friends, and neighbors for God's glory. ~~
