Imitating Christ's Humility (part 2) Shining as Starts

Day LXXVI

Philippians 2



 12 So then, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence but even more in my absence, continue working out your salvation with awe and reverence, 13 for the one bringing forth in you both the desire and the effort – for the sake of his good pleasure – is God.  14 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, 15 so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without blemish though you live in a crooked and perverse society, in which you shine as lights in the world  16 by holding on to the word of life so that on the day of Christ I will have a reason to boast that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain. 17 But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice together with all of you.18 And in the same way you also should be glad and rejoice together with me. 

Please note dear brothers and sisters that our relationship with God and our commitment to walk the holy life is between ourselves and God. Integrity matters, because when we are concerned to do right we are not concerned about what others would say - we are more concerned what God would say.
