“rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.

Jesus is just what we are supposed to look like. We are the only Jesus many people will see because they are oblivious to Gods workings. Jesus was made in man’s likeness but he did not act like man does but how his Father does. He needed the strength and wisdom to do it from above. He was in every way a servant. A servant says, what can I do for you. How can I make your day better. how can I show you love and respect. Looking to others needs before our needs. That does not mean you don’t take care of yourself or even love yourself for who God made you to be. But we should treat others special. Sometimes this can be hard. But God is always willing to give us the grace, strength, and wisdom to do just that. It doesn’t have to cost money all the time. A smile or a compliment or even a helping hand. But we can also help meet someone’s needs for food and shelter. Also meeting their emotional needs. Comforting them when they are hurting. Being understanding when they are short and unkind. We shouldn’t say, why bother. They don’t deserve it or they are too far gone. They don’t want to help themselves why should I. Too much trouble. Nobody is too far gone for God to give up. Nothing is impossible for God. People may give up on themselves because that is where Satan wants them. But God gives everyone a brand new day to try again and as long as we’re alive there’s always hope. Tomorrow could be awesome if we try. Only God knows what we’re capable of. Good people can have bad days that totally take them down nobody is free of trials. The strongest of Christian’s can say why bother. But they know where their strength comes from. God keeps pulling people from the slimy pit every day. Today is a great day to fight for a great tomorrow.
