Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this same attitude in yourselves which was in Christ Jesus [look to Him as your example in selfless humility], who, although He existed in the form and unchanging essence of God [as One with Him, possessing the fullness of all the divine attributes—the entire nature of deity], did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped or asserted [as if He did not already possess it, or was afraid of losing it]; but emptied Himself [without renouncing or diminishing His deity, but only temporarily giving up the outward expression of divine equality and His rightful dignity] by assuming the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men [He became completely human but was without sin, being fully God and fully man]. After He was found in [terms of His] outward appearance as a man [for a divinely-appointed time], He humbled Himself [still further] by becoming obedient [to the Father] to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also [because He obeyed and so completely humbled Himself], God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW [in submission], of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, [Is 45:23] and that every tongue will confess and openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord (sovereign God), to the glory of God the Father.

3 Days
Do you ever feel alone, isolated, or unwanted? The theme of these guided audio meditations is "being known." Day 1 is how to celebrate the joy of Christ together. Day 2 is about being synchronized with others and united in Christ. And, Day 3 is about living a life that lets the world know who you are. We pray you are blessed and encounter God in this plan.
What would our life look life without Jesus? Where would we be? The truth is, all of us came from the same place, from the bottom of a dark hole. God found us when we were helpless and justified us through our faith in Jesus. It's by His grace that we live this life. When we understand this, it allows us to pursue Jesus' character and be humble.
The theme of these guided audio meditations is healing. Divine healing. How it offers hope as you seek relief, strive to praise, and long to worship God amid your pain. Day One’s meditation will help you find healing by finding value in others. The second meditation will center you on finding healing from weakness. And Day Three is about healing your heart.
Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that.” That is the theme of these guided audio meditations: shining light into darkness. Your first meditation will help you center on the light of God within you. In the second meditation, you will become more mindful of God’s light shining out. Finally, a meditation on God choosing you to light the world around you.
