Message from Donn Start, Principal West Valley Campus

Relationship

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. Philippians 2:6, 7

Being appreciated is a wonderful reward for your efforts in showing kindness to others. Serving people is an essential aspect of living your faith, but what if your good works are unappreciated? It's nice to be valued by loved ones or co-workers, but it's more important to remember who you are truly serving. Learn to imitate Christ by looking to your Heavenly Father for approval rather than others.

Today, do something unexpected that will relieve stress for your spouse, a parent, or a friend. Clean the kitchen, wash another’s car, or babysit someone else’s kids -- expecting nothing in return.
