Yuhhh, I found a Gold nugget! :)
If you consider yourself to be a true friend to someone, stop asking the question what can i get from them, and start asking what can i give. Ask how do i meet there needs not how do they meet mine. This is wisdom, for it is better to give than to receive. :)
This, i believe, is one of the main reasons Jesus is gloried before the Father, in fact, it is!! (lol God just spoke to me.lol) Phil 2:1-12
1If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. 3Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
6Who, being in very naturea]">[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7but made himself nothing,
taking the very natureb]">[b] of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death-
even death on a cross!
9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Lets walk with the beatitudes shall we? For God has chosen the foolish things to shame the wise. :)
Ps. Know we can't do this with out God, 13for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. So ask Him for power and grace in the inner man. :)
Pss. This applies both to our relationships with one another, and, first and far most importance, to our relationship with God.(Duhhh)
