We’ve really forgotten how to mourn; we jump to talking points too fast. The very real hurting people get lost in the crossfire.

In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
