“Fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love.” Philippians 2:2 The apostle Paul asks us to lovingly engage with our brothers and sisters in Christ. In fact, He calls all of us to be “of one accord,” to look out “for the interests of others”. Think about it. Jesus gave up His own prerogatives and privileges for us and He did it in spite of our sin and short-comings. The next time you are with someone who is not easy to get along with, ask Jesus to help you find a way to extend His love. In time, you might be surprised by how God can change your attitude about people. The key to getting along with others is having the mind of Christ.
