Love Others

Research has recently shown a surprising number-one indicator of longevity in humans. It’s not exercise or diet-related and has nothing to do with whether you’re a smoker. The number one indicator of a long life is relationships. This means that the greatest investment in our lives is our relationships!

As Christ-followers, growing healthy relationships start with an attitude of humility. Being humble changes how we positionally think about God, ourselves, and others—placing God above all else and seeing ourselves as His creation gives us significant value. This unconditional value and love from God empower us to value and love others the way they are: setting aside our opinions, free from judgments, and with no strings attached. A person of humility cultivates their relationships and adds value to any they come in contact with by looking for ways to elevate conversations and enhance interactions.

PRAYER:

Father, I ask that my life continue to be molded and shaped to reflect You. I want to walk in selflessness and prefer others above myself. Help me be humble and show genuine interest and investment in the lives of others. I want to take the time to truly hear those around me and display love through listening and action. Let humility override pride and selfishness. May we collectively, as Christ-followers, show the world we are yours by our love for You and one another. Help us model our lives after Jesus and exemplify His unconditional love for others. Let me be interruptible, always willing to make space to listen and love as You do.
