Passages: Philippians 2:1-11; Galatians 5:13; 6:2; Romans 1:21-22; Matthew 5:38-48; 1 Corinthians 12:24-26
We serve others well when we have Christ's heart, when we humble ourselves and become caringly and intimately involved and invested in their lives.

God desires that we live balanced lives by spending quality time in rest, work and play. Meditation intimately connects us with Christ.
Because of Jesus, God's Son, we are loved deeply, accepted wholly, and forgiven completely. Cease striving and begin to rest in His love.
