- What is service?
- What does it mean to be called to be a servant?
- What does service mean to you?
- What does it look like (or what should it look like) in your daily life?
The culture in which we live is all about me. It's a challenging trend to resist, because our flesh is more than happy to go along with it. But I think it also presents an opportunity. If we serve sacrificially, we will stand out in stark contrast to many of the people around us. And really, is there a better way to draw people to Christ than by showing His love?
Can we do it? I believe that God will provide what we need to do what He wants us to do. So even when we feel as though we can't take one more step, fold one more towel, or wipe up one more glass of spilled milk ... if we ask Him for help, He will give us the grace to go on. It doesn't mean that it'll be easy, but He will enable us.
What do you think? What does serving mean to you?

The grace to go on that is so true and I just know that is what is keeping me going. I love to serve and help others and believe me it goes around and comes back when you need it!
ReplyDeleteService really is hard because it does (as you say) go against our fleshly desires and the trend of our world.
