Your attitude should be the same as Christ Jesus. Today, that’s something you can do for the people around you who deserve it.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. Last month, a few of my get-up girls went on vacation, and two others were sick. That meant my husband Ken had to do double-duty with extra routines and helping me get up in my wheelchair. All in all, he kept his spirits bright and, unlike me, did not succumb to discouragement. I, on the other hand, was feeling anxious about being so short of help. Plus, struggling with chronic pain was making me feel pretty low. But Ken’s willing spirit so inspired and refreshed me that I said to him, “You know what? You deserve a wife with a good attitude” and from then on out, I purposed, I made every effort to choose a grateful outlook. And that made my husband even happier. Philippians 2:5 says that, “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.” Today, that’s something you can purpose to do. The people around you deserve it.
