Wisdom

A few years ago, my spiritual "mom" who is a very special person in my life, told me that if there is any one passage in the bible that I should memorize, the following would be it. I admit, I never did memorize it, however, I still have the original index card , stained and crinkled, in front of me. These words were important then, and even more so pertinent to the current affairs in my life. So, read and soak in these profound words that are found in the precious Word of God.

"If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and in purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." Phil 2:14
