100 Day Scripture Challenge - Day 2

Hi!

Today's reading was from Philippians 2:1-11

These verses start by asking us essentially, do we believe we receive comfort and fellowship, tender hearts, from belonging to Christ.
Then goes on to explain that, if so, we should be living our lives as humbly and unselfishly as He did.

It's about the attitude of us as Christians.  The face out attitude that we show the world, and also the attitude we think we are hiding in the dark.

Are you humble when you look in the mirror?  Are you too prideful and do you look down on others?  As you read this passage, keep those questions in mind.  And if you aren't living a life of gentleness and love, does something need some fixin'?

Love, till tomorrow!

**UPDATE:

Been doing some more thinking on this.  Even if we try not to place ourselves above others, how does that work with not agreeing with someones choices (perhaps morally), but still show that even though you don't necessarily approve of their choices, it doesn't mean you think you are better than them?

Seems like a fine line....if I distance myself from a situation, it doesn't mean I think I'm above what another person has chosen or who they are, it just means I have different opinions.

So then, what's the "safe" way to approach that situation, so that you don't come off as looking like you are being judgmental?
