i've been reading a devotional book by john stott called "through the Bible, through the year." this week's readings are the 7 words of Jesus from the cross. today, in thinking about His total selflessness in saying, "Father forgive them," in the midst of His suffering and pain, i was forced to repent of my own selfishness. i think that the time when it rears its head the most is when i'm sick or injured, and Jesus was specifically thinking of OTHERS in the midst of His pain... i need to keep the words of Philippians 2:3-4 always before me!
