Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Hope you woke up on the right side of the bed this morning and are approaching your day with the JOYful attitude of Christ!
Let’s just imagine what this world would be like if we ALL had the attitude of Jesus! There would be no one demanding “their rights”; we would all be putting others’ needs before our own; there would be peace and harmony throughout the world.
Philippians 2:5 -7 explains: "Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus, who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant being made in human likeness."
What an example!!!! Jesus was willing to give up his rights as the Son of God in order to be obedient and serve. For many people, the word “servant” holds negative connotations. But in the Christian context, a servant is one who is willing to become like Christ…and that’s a good thing!!!
Let’s put ourselves under the microscope and examine our attitudes, our lifestyle, our goals. Are they “Christlike”? If not, we need to come clean before God and ask Him to help us be aware of selfishness, pride and evil behavior. When we allow Him to transform our lives, we will be setting a JOYful example before others!
