God's Word for Thursday, 9/14/17

 If you’ve gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care— then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don’t push your way to the front; don’t sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don’t be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand.
Philippians 2:1-2 MSG

I am finding that sometimes this translation hits it out of the park. Thanks Reverend!

Thanks, ML.

TB, each has its charms, but I really like The Message Bible. I'm glad you're finding it useful.
