Brave in putting others first

Putting others before us is an act of bravery. It might not seem like it, but putting others first means laying down our pride, humbling ourselves, and thinking of others. This is, as this verse says, the same attitude that Jesus had. 

Jesus said in Luke 9:48, “Whoever is the least among all of you, he is the greatest.” It takes real courage to be okay with being the least. As women of God, we can be brave to put others first. We can pray to see people the way God sees them and trust that He will humble us to think of others as better than ourselves. In putting others first, we’re glorifying our Heavenly Father who did the same for us when He sent Jesus our Savior. God can cleanse our hearts of selfishness and strengthen us in humility. We are called to be like Jesus and bravely put others first.

Father, thank You for the humility and love shown to me through Jesus. Lord, humble me and give me the attitude of Christ. Empower me through the Holy Spirit to be okay to be the least. Thank You, God, that I can bravely put others first for Your glory. Amen.
