Stop

Take a deep breath, say He is Risen, then a deep breath out and say He is risen indeed.

Read

Philippians 2:8…. he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death – even death on a cross.

Reflect

Jesus chose to put us first. When you follow Jesus, you can put His love into action. You can treat everyone around you like Jesus treated people in His life.

Because Jesus listened when people were hurting, you should listen well.

Because Jesus showed compassion to the people around him, you should show compassion.

Because Jesus taught others about God, you should tell others about Him.

Because Jesus consistently gave up what he wanted to put others first, you should put others first too.

Think of someone who you can put first. On a piece of paper, write one way you could put that person first sometime this week. Be specific.

Pray

Dear God, help us follow through on our thoughts and put others first just like Jesus put us first.  Keep us strong as we carry out your work.  Amen

Carry On

Ask God to help you follow through on what you’ve written so you can put others first just as Jesus put you first.
