“All the others care only for themselves and not for what matters to Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 2:21 NLT)
What matters to Christ?
God-Focus: Revealing the Father. Exploring God’s Truth. Expanding God’s sphere of influence. Living according to God’s intentions. Sensing God’s grace.
Love: God desires for us to have an intimate, experiential relationship with Him. Once we recognize God’s presence in others, we can extend this divine love to all God’s creation.
Trust: Faith is more than a belief in the existence of God. Trust is the realization of our own insufficiency, while confidently depending on God’s sufficiency.
Prayer is a shift in attention from ourselves to God. It allows us to sense what matters and provides us the grace and strength to live according to God’s intentions--which is our true purpose.
“For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.” (Philippians 2:13 NLT)
