It means we forget about the selfish nature we as humans naturally adopt. We put others’ above ourselves and seek to find ways to serve them. Does that mean we constantly roll over & get taken for a fool? No. Does that mean we don’t have a backbone and are weak? No. Does it mean you never have a say in things that happen in your life? No. What it means is you’re treating other people the way you would want to be treated and while not everyone may reciprocate, they will remember how you treated them. They will know how much you care and will listen to you when you have something to say. They will value your input and they will value you.
So what is this principle of joy I speak about? It’s putting the reasons you do things in life in this order:
Jesus first
Others second
You third
Today, Macy Walker was recognized as Student of the Month for the character trait of Citizenship. Citizenship was defined by her school as helping to make her country a better place to live & looking for opportunities to serve others. They may call it Citizenship but as for the Walkers, we call it JOY!
