Scripture
Philippians 2:3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.
Observation
This whole verse has to do with thinking of others. No self, no image management, no pride, no self again.
Application
Trying not to impress others is a very hard thing for me to do. I really do care what people think. Rob Petkau told me it is because people are important to me. I think that is true as he meant it, but I don't want to focus on that. I need to live for 'an audience of one'.
Prayer
Lord, I want to live a life where I think about others, and not how I can impress them. Rather, how can I serve them. May that be the impression I make on them - that they are worth serving.
