Attitude

Attitude is so important...why is it that it is so hard to keep it under control?

Every time something happens to me that is not ideal, I want to open my big mouth and let the world know what is up...how I've been wronged...how unfair life seems at times...why things should be different.

If I do not say it out loud, it is still in my head which is bad too.

"Make your own attitude that of Christ Jesus..." Philippians 2:3
The next several verses talks about the attitude that Christ had. He was GOD, yet he humbled himself and died for all of us...a bunch of sinners! Christ's attitude was not about himself, it was about others, and doing the will of the Father.

I think we all have a lot of work to do; but that is part of the point. How awesome is it that God is perfect...Christ was and is perfect in every way meaning we will never live up to what we are called. It makes God so much more powerful and awesome to know that we cannot explain Him or ever be just like Him. God is God, and we are not.

We are called to imitate Him, though, so we must humble ourselves and live our lives in a way that is pleasing and glorifying to Him...ALWAYS...no matter how hard it may be sometimes :)
