Scripture
Philippians 2:1-4
Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
Observation
Mind – G5858 φρονέω phroneō, to think, regard, hold an opinion; to set one’s mind on; to have a (certain) attitude
Application
We are not always going to agree on everything. How boring would that be? Nothing new would ever be invented. There would be no out of the box thinking. It is OK if we disagree. Being of one mind does not mean we agree. It means we have the same attitude. That attitude is one of LOVE! Love does nothing out of selfishness ambition or conceit. Love is filled with humility and values other and their opinions. Love does not look to its own interest but includes everyone. We must love one another. Let God take care of the rest.
Prayer
Lord you love me unconditionally. Help me learn to love others as you do. Help me value them even when I don’t agree with them.
