consider others more important

i'm at work, so this will be short. matt came in here tonight and came right over to me to say hi. i felt a little awkward and scared. i talked to a friend about it and realized that much if not all of my attitude towards matt has been selfish. yes, i do want to make things clear so as not to give the wrong impression or lead him on, but ultimately i didn't want to have to handle the awkward conversation that might have to happen. so as Phil. 2:3 says, i'm praying that the Lord will teach me how to truly consider matt as more important than myself. i need to seek to demonstrate Christ's love in the way i interact with him and encourage him to keep striving after the Lord. man, this is tough! i'm so thankful for the Lord's grace and i'm thankful that no matter what i say it will be used for my good and for matt's good. God is IN CONTROL. praise the Lord!
