Caring for others

This is what the Lord says:

“Be just and fair to all. Do what is right and good, for I am coming soon to rescue you and to display my righteousness among you. ~ Isaiah 56:1 (NLT)

Care about them as much as you care about yourselves... ~ Philippians 2:4 (CEV)

KEY IDEA:
The Lord expects us to care about others as much as we care about ourselves.
PRAYER:
Thank you, Lord, for caring about me. As far as I can tell I am not worthy of your affection. I care mostly about myself. And even when I'm caring for others I'm thinking about what I can get out of the relationship. That's not healthy or right. Help me to be honest and genuine. Give me a heart for others. Apart from your intervention, I am a lost cause. I can't change on my own. But I know that you are the source of all that is just and right. I'm going to trust you. Amen.
