Andy Stanley - How Love and Humility are Connected
TOPICS: Love, Humility

If you don't feel good about yourself, it's hard to let others feel good about themselves, right? And if there is something in you that has a hard time allowing them to stay in the spotlight without stepping into saying, well, you know, when I was in college. Now get outta here. Okay, well, you know, there was a time when no if, if there's something in you that just can't let someone close to you and someone you supposedly love, stand in the spotlight alone. It's because there's something in you you need to work on.

And if there's something in you that you need to work on, work on it. Otherwise, it undermines your ability to love as God in Christ has loved you. Because think about this, think about this. Jesus was in very nature God, but he did not allow his equality with God to move him, to grasp his equality with God. He didn't show up at the restaurant and say, corner table, ask them to move. Jesus is here. He never listen. This is, listen. He never played. He never played the God card to get his own way. And if your Savior was willing to stay out of the spotlight that he deserved, that he earned, that he had every right to step into, he says, now I want you to do for others exactly what I've done for you.

I want you to forego your privilege. Sometimes I want you to forgo the credit that you deserve. I want you to forego the opportunity that comes along every once in a while to talk about all that you've done so that you can highlight what other people have done. Do you do that? Or is there this in? Is there something in you that's like you just, you just have to throw your hat in the ring. You just gotta step in.

If that's in you, that is gonna undermine your ability to love those around you. Pay close attention. Pay close attention to your internal reaction to the success of the people closest to you. How difficult is it for you to celebrate the success of the people who are close to you are closest to you? And if there's something in you that strains and struggles you have work to do, you gotta exercise that muscle. You gotta exercise that muscle a lot.
