Key Points
- Surrender – submit to His will and not your feelings or expectations.
- Sympathize – rember that everyone is weak and prone to sin; at the core, they are no different than you.
- Survey – put yourself on a shelf, make an effort to get to know others. Be more concerned to hear their story rather than to tell yours. Don’t attempt to fix a problem without first validating.
- Serve – serving others helps to remove selfishness. Serving can help to foster community and unity. Jesus set a great example for us to follow.
- Share – sharing helps us remember that we have received in order that we would give. Sharing breaks greed and opens your heart to place others above yourself.
- Remember, your first reaction is often the wrong one. Pause and ask the Spirit to lead you rather than your feelings.
Discussion
