關照他人
讀經: 腓立比書2章3-8節
金句: 「各人不要單顧自己的事，也要顧別人的事。」（腓立比書2章4節）
全年讀經: 以賽亞書5-6章；以弗所書1章

當我們捨己時，就能彰顯主耶穌的本性，因為他的本性就是總為別人著想，很少想到自己。正是如此他才能謙卑自己，而做到「存心順服，以至於死」（腓立比書2章8節）。
我們的天性是優先考慮自己的利益──從我們自己的需要及慾望來看一切，但藉著主耶穌的幫助，我們可以棄絕這個習性。之後，我們就能設身處地的為別人著想，我們能看到他們的想法，感受他們所關心的事，以及他們的切身需要。
因此我們必須問自己：「我們會把別人的利益放在自己的利益之上嗎？當我們看到上帝在別人身上動工和藉著他人成就一些事，我們會高興嗎？會不會有像這種事發生在自己身上時，所產生的那種興奮和激動呢？當我們盡力幫助人時，我們是否渴望見到他人在恩典中成長並得到認可？看到屬靈的晚輩蒙召做工超過我們時，我們是否心滿意足？」若是如此，就是達到偉人的標準。
當我們全然為別人著想，不再為自己著想時，我們就更像我們的主。人的愛心沒有比這個大的（約翰福音15章13節）。DHR
主啊，賜我一顆憐憫心，對別人的需要有所負擔；藉著態度、言語和行為，我會向他們彰顯你仁慈。Fitzhugh
你越愛主，就能越愛人。

Looking Out For Others
ODB RADIO: Listen Now DownloadREAD: Philippians 2:3-8
Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. —Philippians 2:4
-->About this cover

In giving of ourselves, we manifest the essence of Jesus’ character, for it has always been His nature to think more about others than He thinks of Himself. Why else would He humble Himself and become “obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross” (Phil. 2:8).
Our natural tendency is to consider our own interests first—to look at everything from the perspective of our own needs and wants. But with Jesus’ help we can unlearn that habit. We can begin to think of the best interests of others—their wants, their concerns, their needs.
And so we must ask ourselves: Do we consider others’ interests more important than our own? Do we get as excited about what God is doing in and through them as we do about what He is doing in and through us? Do we long to see others grow in grace and gain recognition, though it may have been our efforts that made them successful? Do we find satisfaction in seeing our spiritual children surpass us in the work they are called to do? If so, such is the measurement of greatness.
We are most like our Lord when our thoughts for ourselves are lost in our thoughts for others. There is no greater love than that (John 15:13). —David H. Roper—David H. Roper-->
Lord, grant me a heart of compassionSo burdened for others’ needsThat I will show them Your kindnessIn attitudes, words, and deeds. —Fitzhugh
The more you love the Lord, the more you will love others.

壹句話
人生的成敗，常常因為一個人、一件事，甚至一句話而有決定性的影響。
尤其對人有用的一句話，勝過千言萬語。
古今中外有很多人因為別人的一句話而深受感動，甚至豁然開朗；由於「一句話」而改變一生的事例， 更是多不勝數。
美國著名的教育家和演講口才藝術家卡內基，小時候是一個非常調皮的小男孩。
他九歲的時候，父親將繼母娶進門。 他父親向新婚妻子介紹卡內基時，如是說： 「希望你注意這個全郡最壞的男孩，他實在令我頭痛， 說不定明天早晨他還會拿石頭砸你，或做出什麼壞事呢！」
出乎卡內基預料的是，繼母微笑地走到他面前，托著他的頭，注視著他。
接著告訴丈夫：「你錯了，他不是全郡最壞的男孩， 而是最聰明，只是還沒找到發洩熱忱地方的男孩。」
此話一出，卡內基的眼淚不聽使喚地滾滾而下。
就因為這一句話，建立了卡內基和繼母之間深厚的感情；也因為這一句話，成就了他立志向上的動力；
更因為這一句話，讓他日後幫助千千萬萬的人一同步上了成功之路。
「一句話」很容易說，但重要的是要能讓對方受用。
失落著的生命再造，不一定要靠能言善道的人來開導，有時僅僅是一句看起來普通的話，就能為對方帶來力量。

生命是一種學習 ，任何人在學習的過程中不免遇到困難和迷惑。
給人一句好話，讓人生命奮起飛揚，何樂而不為呢？ 所以，人要常說：
第一、給人歡喜的話；
第二、給人鼓勵的話；
第三、給人肯定的話；
第四、給人讚歎的話。
多說好話，少說壞話。
不經意的一句輕浮話，有時會自毀前程，
而一句關懷別人的話，卻能讓沮喪的人有生存下去的勇氣。
因此，人要經常檢點自己的口舌，以免破壞了好姻緣。
