Putting ourselves out for others can sometimes be a difficult thing to do.  Some people find it easier than others while many struggle understanding the needs of others.  Paul in his letter to the Philippians says that as we put others first we are reflecting the life of Jesus.  He says, Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.  Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.  Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.  Paul then goes on to speak about the attributes of Jesus.  Open up your Bibles and read this passage from Philippians Chapter 2 and try and be like Jesus next time you are tempted to be selfish and not put yourself out for someone else.
