Do Nothing From Selfish Ambition

 We are not to neglect our own needs, we are called upon in everything, by prayer and supplication, to make our requests known to the Lord. But we are instructed to Do Nothing From Selfish Ambition, nor should we be motivated to impress others, but in gentle humility of heart we are to count others interests and needs as more significant than our own so that our joy may be complete.
 How honoring to the Lord if we were to take this simple instruction to heart, and not only look to our own interests but also to the interests of others.
not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, help us to recognize and respond to the needs of others, willingly, cheerfully, with humility of heart, and gentleness of spirit. May we not be so concerned with our needs that we miss the aching need of another. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
