“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.” (Phil. 2:3–4)

The early church was known for many things, and at the forefront was their unselfishness. They gave to the less fortunate, they helped the widows and the orphans, they walked into leprous villages and took care of the sick and the weak. These are the things that we are to be known for. How do we let go of our selfish ambition and look out for the interest of others? How do we do that for people we do not know or have yet to meet? Let me share a post from a family friend (Jill) who works as a nurse:

JUST STAY HOME.
PLEASE!
THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM NEEDS YOU TO STAY HOME.
No matter where you live – what province; what country…
STAY HOME.
It’s what EVERYONE can do to HELP.
It’s the most SELFLESS thing you can do – and it helps EVERYONE.
STAY HOME.
GIVES US ALL OUR BEST CHANCE –
TO BEAT THIS –
TO SURVIVE THIS –
TO HELP EVERYONE –
ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO WILL DESPERATELY NEED IT WHEN THE TIME COMES.
STAY HOME

WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. ❤️

We are called to be selfless. Nurse Jill tells us the most selfless thing to do is to stay home. We are called to help where we can – Jill tells us that staying home helps everyone. Let us put our selfish ambition, or vain conceit, aside and look out for the interests of others.
May your day be blessed in ways you were not expecting, as you do your part to help others.
