Are you top priority?



“To think of oneself as nothing, and always to think well and highly of others is the best and most perfect wisdom.” Thomas Kempis in his book “The Imitation of Christ”.

What do you think about yourself compared to others? The world would have you think you are the best, you are above all, and you deserve all. But that is not what God teaches us:

Philippians 2:3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.

Matthew 20:26-27 It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever would be first among you must be your slave,

Romans 12:10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.

Mark 12:31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Putting others before ourself is what God has said to do and what Jesus Himself did for each one of us by going to the cross and dying for our sins not His because He had none. 

So again I ask what do you think of yourself compared to others, we may need to adjust our thinking and actions very quickly!
