Pay close attention

This week we looked at the passage in Philippians that is often translated, "Do not merely look at your own interests, but also the interests of others". - Philippians 2:3-4

Mike pointed out that a better translation is "Do not pay close attention to yourself, but rather to others".

We were then challenged with the thought that we often only show our best faces without truly opening up with our needs and weaknesses. We then also tend to pay attention to others to the extent that is comfortable or convenient for us.

What areas in your own life do you have questions or struggles?
Who are the people you can pay closer to as we model the life of Christ?
