“LIE: The more self-esteem I have, the better life will go for me. TRUTH: The more I choose God and others over myself, the more joyful I will be. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!5 I CHOOSE TO SERVE GOD AND OTHERS OVER SERVING MYSELF.”
