Imagine watching a horse race and seeing the leather squares over the horses’ eyes. These blinders serve a critical role, blocking out everything around and behind the horses so they can focus solely on the path ahead.

In many ways, we navigate life with our own blinders, fixated only on what directly impacts us. This narrow focus can make us oblivious to the broader world and the people who are suffering within it. It’s time to remove those blinders. We are meant to live for something greater than ourselves.

Humbling ourselves before God is vital, but we must also extend that humility to others. When we do, we shift our focus from our own needs to asking, “How can I serve others?” The ultimate expression of love is prioritizing the well-being of others and taking action, just as Christ did when He sacrificed Himself for us. Look around you. When you see someone in need, take the initiative to love and support them.

Demonstrate the love of Jesus by making your life less about you and more about your readiness to be His hands and feet.

Be encouraged to go and prioritize the needs of others today.
