TODAY’S WORD…

.

Be like-minded, have the same love,

be 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.

.

– Philippians 2:2-4 (NIV)

.

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

True Christians should always act humbly and with an upright intention

if they truly want love to reign among them.

Kindness, gentleness and compassion should be the order of the day,

even towards those who we feel may be undeserving.

.

At home, in our work, and in our social life

we should be upright in all that we do.

We should go about everything, whether important or unimportant,

in a humble way,

doing it all for God.

.

We should also never forget

that our behaviour, our attitude, has an effect on others.

We can be a source of inspiration and encouragement;

but we can also cause scandal, offence, and mislead others.

.

Do I always act responsibly, correctly, and unpretentiously?

.

QUOTE…

.

“Let us try therefore, not only to be good

but to conduct ourselves well in the eyes of others.

Let us try to see that there is nothing that our conscience reprimands us for,

and also, bearing in mind our weakness, do all that we can,

to avoid giving scandal to those who are less mature."

.

– St. Augustine
