Live Like That

"Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,  make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross." (Philippians 2:2-8)

I want to love like that
to live like that
like Christ
with joy
giving
emptying
of myself
in love
for love
of God
neighbor
stranger
brother, sister.

Have I loved like this?
No. 
I fail daily.
but I try.
again
and again
again.
I want to live like that 
to love like that
like Christ
"so it is no longer I who lives,
but Christ who lives in me". (Galatians 2:20)
