Love David’s prayer at the end of this chapter. He is so humble. Check it out.

Sucking
Sometimes I suck.I have a problem with pride.I have decided that I really need to work hard to be a living testimony for God. I need to cultivate relationships with other people and be a reflection of the awesome love of Christ. But my love is nothing like his. When I attempt to reach out to other people in my journey to demonstrate God’s love I still tend to just be thinking about ME. Specifically, I always wonder what the other person thinks my motive is (Ex: Do they think that I am desperate to be friends with them because I think that they are the best thing since sliced bread?). My heart wants to love and serve people. My mind wants to prove to everyone that I’m awesome/not desperate for any person’s friendship/really cool.
What a prideful attitude. Whether or not I am awesome (I do consider being the unique creation of the King of Kings to be pretty awesome) should not be a factor in my service to others. Sometimes I love purely, my heart has no competition from my mind. I just don’t like those times when my concern for my image, my pride, gets in the way of giving God and others my best.
‘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 others.’ Philippians 2:4
Jesus, please let me be part of a world where this verse is lived.
