Do we desperately want to be different?

Thanks God! No oversleep. I was able to attend the church service this morning. Surprisingly today was the baptism and membership transfer day. There were 16 people baptized and 5 transferred their membership to the church. Hallelujah!! To God be the Glory.
"Becoming Nothing."
This was the message of this morning, when I first read this message in the bulletin, I really couldn't get it. But when I referred to Philippians 2:5-8, I almost got it.
Pastor began with the question below,
"How to love other without sacrificing who we are?"
pondering......
I do agree the below messages:
" We are a culture of people who still don't know ourselves.
We don't like who we are.
We desperately want to be different. "
The reason is, we are not confident of our identity.
To be sure, our identiy are rooted in Him (God).
Pastor questioned again,
"Isn't it hypocritical to act as someone else?"
It's true.
Lastly, Pastor asked again, "How do we go to understand people?"
Answer: WE GO ALL THE WAY.
Final Question: Are you still willing to go all the way like Jesus to love other?
This is a challenge, isn't it?
We maybe very familiar to sing of the song, All The Way My Saviour Leads Me.
However, we still need to learn about it. Merciful God please guide us, and bless us.
Thanks God! I jogged for 2 rounds and walked for 1 round tonight. Exercise is good for health. Yeah!
