Rooting Out of Self - Philippians 2: 3,4

Humanity is filled full of self always wanting to be number one such folly is plain to see for those enlightened by God's son God warns us of ambitions self being conceited and uncaring this does us no good at all for we should always be sharing Sharing ourselves and all we have showing humility to those we meet giving them truly first place bowing our hearts to all we greet Look out for others interests not thinking always of our own be concerned of their life and soul for God wants His love to be shown So be sure to kill off self cutting it down at its root making Christ's glory your aim bear His traits always foot by foot AUTHOR NOTES: "Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests but also for the interests of others." ~ Philippians 2:3-4
