Philippians 2: 1-11 (NIV-UK)
1 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
6 who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death –
even death on a cross!9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Loving God,
In Christ You reveal the deep gift of humility shown not in weakness but in self-giving love.
Shape our hearts by the mind of Christ, who did not cling to power but emptied himself for the world.
Free us from pride, competition and the need to be exalted.
Teach us to serve with compassion, to listen with patience and to place others before ourselves.
May our humility be rooted in Your love and our obedience flow from trust.
As we bow before Christ, may our lives reflect His grace, for Your glory.
Amen
