In present day America what I call the Youtube Party mindset has taken over our brain's. We don't care about others we are just waiting for them to pause so we can put our 2 cents in. This mindset leads to a self centered life that is controlled by bitterness. A quality that every leader should strive to have is that of being a good listener.
“If A equals success, then the formula is A equals X plus Y and Z, with X being work, Y play, and Z keeping your mouth shut.” -- Albert Einstein.
When you ask questions you are telling the other person you want to care, when you listen you are showing them you truly care, and when you act purely for their benefit you show them what love is.
John 13:34-35 34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Christ loved us so much he gave up his own life for us, this is the love that we are commanded to show one another. Loving others is a continual mindset, an established lifestyle, and an action that defines. "Humility is not thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less. "--C.S. Lewis. Love and humility walk hand in hand, to really love like God has commanded us to we have to love others more than ourselves, yes even our own lives.
Will you start Loving others today?
