Phil. 2:3-4

3Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

I was also reading over this passage many times over the past week and a half. It really made an impact on me even though I've read it many dozens of times before. Basically this verse is saying to look outward, and view your walk on earth as not focussing on yourself, but on the well-being of others. It seems I've violated this command in every area of my life.

Because I'm so involved in myself I place my homework higher than the smooth communication of a close relationship. When I get stressed at school and at work, it inevitably overflows and creates some rapids in my personal life with whoever interacts with me. When I get in an argument it seems to take me longer to see my sin and then get the courage to repent openly. Basically it boils down to pride. Please pray for me for humility and keeping priorities in their right perspective in my dailly life. I need to make the health of relationships have a higher place than before.
