Daily Bread April 7th 2019 Change Is Possible Poh Fang Chia It is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. Philippians 2:13 Philippians 2:1–4 1 Samuel 7–9; Luke 9:18–36 One Saturday afternoon, some youth group members from my church gathered to ask one another some hard questions based on Philippians 2:3–4: “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.” Some of the difficult queries included: How often do you take an interest in others? Would someone describe you as humble or proud? Why? As I listened, I was encouraged by their honest answers. The teenagers agreed that it’s easy to acknowledge our shortcomings, but it’s hard to change, or—for that matter—desire to change. As one teen lamented, “Selfishness is in my blood.” The desire to let go of our focus on self to serve others is only possible through Jesus’s Spirit living in us. That’s why Paul reminded the Philippian church to reflect on what God had done and made possible for them. He had graciously adopted them, comforted them with His love, and given His Spirit to help them (Philippians 2:1–2). How could they—and we—respond to such grace with anything less than humility? Yes, God is the reason for us to change, and only He can change us. Because He gives us “the desire and power to do what pleases him” (v.13 nlt), we can focus less on ourselves and humbly serve others. In what ways has God helped you turn from selfishness and be more willing to serve others? How does Jesus’s humility inspire you to humbly serve? Our responsibility is to respond to God’s ability in humility.

“See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people.” ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:15‬ ‭NLT‬‬ https://www.bible.com/116/1th.5.15.nlt

God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners” (Romans 5:8 NLT). Everything that Jesus did for you, he did out of love. The Bible says that God made you to love you. The only reason you’re alive is because you were made to be loved by God. God made you and wants you alive so he can love you and so you can love him back. God didn’t just say he loved you; he demonstrated it. The Bible says, “God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners” (Romans 5:8 NLT). It says he did this while we were still sinners. Before I even knew God or knew I needed God in my life, Jesus died for me. There’s a myth that says I’ve got to clean up my act before I can come to God: “I have to get it all together. There are a few things I need to get right in my life first, and then I’ll come to God.” No! You come to God with your problems—the good, the bad, and the ugly. It’s like when we brush our teeth before we go to the dentist to have a teeth cleaning or when we wash the dishes before we put them in the dishwasher or when we pick up the house before the housecleaner gets there. Why do we do this? God says, “No, no! You don’t have to clean up your act. Just bring it all to me. Bring me all your problems. I have all the answers. Come as you are.” If you don’t act on this news, then the death of Jesus Christ and his Resurrection are wasted for you personally. It makes no difference in your life. You may recognize the gift, but you still have to receive it. “You will be saved, if you honestly say, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and if you believe with all your heart that God raised him from death. God will accept you and save you, if you truly believe this and tell it to others” (Romans 10:9-10 CEV). God is not asking you to make a promise you cannot keep. God is asking you to believe a promise that only he can keep. @Pastor Rick Warren #dailyhope

“Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11:28‬ ‭NLT‬‬ https://www.bible.com/116/mat.11.28.nlt

We can’t understand why GOD loves us, but He does and His love is freely given. We’ve done nothing to deserve His love, and yet He lavishly loves us. Scripture tells us: “God is love” (1 John 4:8). It’s part of who He is. God has poured out His love on us so we can show this same love to others. Jesus told His disciples, “As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:34–35). Because God loves us, we can love others
