The Apostle Paul gave us divine perspective on human relationships in every dimension of life. He wrote, "Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves." (Philippians 2:3 NRSV) That one verse contains more wisdom than most marriage manuals, family system guides, and employee handbooks combined. If heeded, it could virtually eliminate divorce, estranged families, and employee strife from the catalogue of human experience. It will give you guidance and stability when the storms in a relationship begin to howl.

I struggle with the 'better than yourselves' piece of this scripture. Why can we not see ourselves as equals. Our negative self talk just gets fed from the thinking that "others are better than myself"...........when I don't believe God sees anyone of us as 'better than' because he is just wanting us to be the best 'us' we can be........I guess I understand what this is trying to say....that if we aspire to raise the bar and you raise the bar...........then we would all be equal????
