.Something Sacred.

Something that has really been on my heart and mind these past few days is the passage in Philippians where Paul talks about resembling Christ's humility in chapter two.

"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. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death--even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Phil. 2:3-11

Also, last night I was just reflecting before bed about what price was actually paid for me. The sacrifice of Christ's blood, and the pain that was endured for me!!! That's just insane to think about. And I started thinking about physical pain endured and the blood, and the agony of it all. I just ended up in tears over it all, but they were tears of joy, because through Christ I have life. I am living and breathing and have eternal life through Jesus Christ's death on the cross. How amazing is that?!! I truly don't focus on that reality enough. And I don't share the joy of that reality enough....I am going to try to focus more upon the sacrifice and the blood that was shed for me, and the joy and priviledge I have to share that with the people here in the hostel.
Praise Jesus!!!
