“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.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

‘Tis the season. 

Arguably more goodwill and selflessness prevails at this time of year than at any other.

Parlayed through songs, parties, and gifting, the theme of caring for one another above self lasts for about 6 weeks then comes to a screeching halt in the new year. 

Genuine humility is a command, however, that endures beyond times, places, or seasons because it’s provoked by nothing other than a renewed heart. 

Christmastime is all year long, celebrating that new birth of Jesus and the the regenerative birth in his people. 

Valuing others above ourselves is the gift that gives all year long and into eternity.
