Interesting . . .

Let each of you esteem and look upon and be concerned for not [merely] his own interests, but also each for the interests of others. (Philippians 2:4, AMP)

Good Morning!

Believe it or not, there are times that I am at a loss for words. What do you say when someone says something that . . . well. . . makes little sense? I have learned over the years to say—Wow. . . . that is so . . . so . . . interesting. I may not understand what they said; however, I am interested in them.

Once again, the Apostle Paul said it was important to be interested in the lives of others:

Let each of you esteem and look upon and be concerned for not [merely] his own interests: A follower of Christ develops a genuine interest in others. A meaningful life occurs through refusing to be self –centered and choosing to be caring for others.

But also each for the interests of others: A component of being other-centered is to realize that humanity is the created of the Creator. The “haves” are not superior to the “have-nots” in this world; however, the mentality of humanity often assumes power, possessions, and position generates superiority.

Be interested in others today.
Listen to someone today.
Honor someone today.
Randomly bless someone today.


Learning with you to be interested in others,
Kerrie
