| What focus? |
Just wish to share my quiet time for this morning...
I was reading Philippians 2:1-4 and I looked for different translations. I find myself going "ahh" at the message version (not that any other versions are not good la...) -
"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."
If we look at verse 3, we will realise that being inwards focused only makes us focused on what we want to achieve. We will want to push people away consciously or unconsciously. When we are outward-focused or at least trying to be, we will realise that we want to share with the others the need for them to hear God's Word and how it can change their lives. We will also do things that will bring people together as we do things out of love.
