You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead he gave up his divine privileges, he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal's death on a cross. (Philippians 2:5-8)
"If I am to be a Christian, I must settle in my life once and for all that the law of my life is not my will, but Christ's will. His will has to be supreme, and that means my will has to be crucified. It is surprising what healing and growth can occur in human relationships when we reach the place where we can bow to others and above all bow to him." (Dennis Kinlaw - "this day with the master")
That kind of attitude and living can only come about as we continually surrender to God, follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. Lord, keep me obedient to you in my thought life, my attitude, and my spirit! Amen!
