What does it take to get along with others?

As I was drawing Philippians 2, I was also seeing the damage a flood did to a local community. And I pictured what I would look like if rivers of my selfishness overflowed. What damage would it do to me and those around me.

 If you’ve gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care—then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don’t push your way to the front; don’t sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don’t be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand. (Philippians 2:1-4, The Message)
