Made himself nothing

Philippians 2:1-11
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 
You have the same love, being one in spirit and purpose - make my joy complete.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit,
                         but in humility consider others better than yourselves.
Each of you should look not only to your interests, but also to the interests of others.
Your altitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus- made himself nothing, taking the very nature(form) of a servant, being found in appearance s a man and became obedient to death-even death on a cross.
Every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Load to the glory of God the Father.
Jesus gave up ll that was his by right- even his life - that God has given him the highest place of all.
Why?
Emptied himself: Gave up all he had, made himself nothing.
We have some love, fellowship and good mind should have the same love, being one in spirit and purpose, being united with Christ. It is very important to be a Christian.
Humble ourselves is consider others better than myself. Respect other does not mean looks down myself.
Selfish ambition is focus my own interests, even the service is consider our interests. That is not the real love, real love is like Jesus devote all he had, even his life.
Somehow wee will care about our appearance- at least like a man, but Jesus can became a limited human likeness. How can I became a dog if I like dog?
How?
I have to confess I am a selfish man, even I like to serve people, but I still will take care my interests
At least I should do the right things to the glory of God the Father.
