“Do nothing from selfish ambition or empty conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves.” –Phillipians 2:3
Accessing our connection to things greater than ourselves can bring us comfort and joy. Whether it is through helping someone else, bearing witness to the grief and pain of another, or investing in actions that bring systemic change, engaging in practices that move us outside of our own pain points and concerns is an important part of nurturing and expressing our faith.
We often experience the care and work of the Spirit through the companionship and grace of those around us. And we participate in God’s kingdom work when we offer expressions of shalom to those we meet.
Take a moment today to engage in an activity that honors the value of connecting with something greater than the self. You may choose to take a walk in nature, spend time making a gratitude list or offering a random act of kindness for a friend or stranger.
some comfort and joy
