Focusing on God
 
Philippians 2
   We often get so carried away with a project we are working on that we begin to do our thing instead of working with others. When we concentrate on ourselves, our disregard for others is obvious. Our goal as Christians is to focus on God. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Philippians 2:3
   We are all in Christ and, as we walk in unity with Him, we are in unity with one another. The power of Christian love, through the Holy Spirit within us, fosters goodwill among us. Our human compassion gives us a desire to care for others. We can never really understand Jesus’ overwhelming love for us, but we can accept it and experience its blessing.
   Jesus is Lord and Savior of mankind. We will never fully understand all there is to know about Christ. As long as we have His love in our heart and obey Him, we are saved from the ravages of this world and assured peace and joy in life everlasting. Our focus must be on others as we continue in His service.
