Of course when you think of love you think of Christ but what about humility? This man (and God at the same time) embodied humility to His core. How are you imitating Christ's humility? A lot of us only live to make a good impression of ourselves for others. But caring about yourself all the time is troublesome. In the Bible, Jesus washed His disciples feet...yeah...He did that! We must serve others. He who was God, brought Himself and made Himself a servant. Thats what love is all about! In love there is no "I" or "me". It's "we" or better yet "you". Considering others' interests as more important than our own links us to Christ l, who was a true example of humility. We should have a servant's attitude, serving out of love for God and for others. God is so cool that He even gives you the choice. You can approach life expecting to be served, or you can look for opportunities to serve others. Please let that sink in...
Philippians 2:3-7 "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 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 of a servant, being made in human likeness."
