Philippians 2

As I was running, I was thinking about how you had been so sweet to try to find a good pillow for me last night since my neck and back had been sore from sleeping funny on them.  I am giving thanks for your servant's heart, Anna and praying that you will continue to live in light of this amazing passage below: 


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,then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

Who, being in very nature[a] God,

    did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;

rather, he made himself nothing

    by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,
    being made in human likeness.

And being found in appearance as a man,

    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death
        even death on a cross!

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.
