24th I.B.S.

Phillipians 2:3-

"Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves."

We are to be filled with joy through everything that we do. If we do everything with the mindset of j.o.y., then we are doing it right. We should be having a bad attitude about it because we are tired, or because we dont like what it is we're doing, or because of the team we are doing it with because the first letter here is "J" which we all know stands for Jesus. If we are doing everything with the first priority that says, "okay, this is for Jesus." I think I would put alot more effort into it than I normally would. Now lets say your stuck on a what you consider a junky KP team. And you say, "Well I love Jesus and I want to do my best for Jesus but this sorry bunch of losers on the other hand..." that doesnt make sense because Jesus said that we cannot love Him but not our brothers and sisters. So when we say Jesus, then "O" for others we should be serving those who are serving with us. So when we're on KP, and we see that someones not having a good day, and their work is showing that, talk to them, help them out, our teams aren't going to grow stronger if we just sit there and complain, "Oh there goes Ben, doing backflips when he's supposed be doing dishes." Then there's the "Y" for Yourself. honestly while writing this I want to finish with just saying that there shouldnt be a "Y" because your supposed to be dead to yourself while serving others.

When doing anything, I need to work on physically expressing joy during work, so I will try my best to always smile during those times.
