Consider others

"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility, consider others better the yourselves." Phil 2

Consider others. I've been chewing on that this morning. Some people make it down right impossible to consider them. They may mistreat you, judge you, and even harm you. How can you have the mind of Christ when confronted with offense? I think the key is "...in humility..."
When I think of how I've wronged people, how my sin hurts God, and how my pride gets in the way, I can only thank God for His grace. If He looks beyond my junk and loves me with an everlasting love, then surley I can get over myself. Consider others. Have we considered those who have done us wrong?
God help me to bless those who curse me. Lord help me to walk in love and humility. Keep me from selfish ambition and vain conceit. Help me to consider others as you have considered me.
