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. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death-even death on a cross.” Philippians 2:5-8

Dear Jesus, For Lent I will give up being haughty, self-centered and defensive. Instead, I will look at you and the way you ignored your deity so you could save me. I will pursue serving others with self-abandoned freedom. I will throttle my complaining spirit and redirect my thoughts to the blessings and opportunities that come from meeting the needs of others. I will forget what I have done for people and refuse to expect recognition or reciprocation. I will seek the peace and happiness that come from a self-forgetting path. I will be spiritually alive as I put to death the selfishness that keeps popping up like winter dandelions. Amen.

Being like Christ will reap a soul the benefit of selflessness
