The document discusses having a Christ-like attitude of humility and service. It encourages focusing thoughts on God's word through meditation. Filling one's mind with Scripture can change one's perspective to see oneself as God sees us. Having the attitude of Christ involves abandoning self-promotion for self-abandonment in serving others. True joy comes from what God is doing in us and through us, not from what happens to us.

If you have any encouragement
from being united with Christ, if
any comfort from his love, if any
fellowship with the Spirit, if any
tenderness and compassion, 2
then make my joy complete by
being like-minded, having the
same love, being one in spirit
and purpose.

Blessed is the man who does not
walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners or
sit in the seat of mockers. But his
delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day
and night. He is like a tree planted
by streams of water, which yields
its fruit in season and whose leaf

Each of you should look not only to
your own interests, but also to the
interests of others. 5 Your attitude
should be the same as that of Christ

God, did not consider equality with
God something to be grasped, 7 but
made himself nothing, taking the very
nature of a servant, being made in
human likeness.
