Scriptures used: Mark 10:45; Ephesians 4:7; Philippians 2:3; Hebrews 6:10-12; Matthew 6:3; Philippians 2:7; Matthew 5:16; 25:40; 23:11-12
Greatness in the Kingdom of God is having a servant's heart.
Serving must be a lifestyle not an isolated event. It's the difference between a lifestyle of honor versus simply completing a task.
“There is a difference between choosing to serve and choosing to be a servant. When I choose to serve I retain control about who I serve and when I serve. But when I choose to be a servant I give over my rights and all control about who and when, I just serve.” Richard Foster
“Our lives will never be about Jesus if we keep making everything about ourselves.” Bob Goff
If we were on trial for having a servant’s heart would there be enough evidence to prove us guilty of blessing others?
“Planning to love people is more difficult than just loving people. It’s easier to make plans than to make time.” Bob Goff
“I am a pencil in the hand of God writing a love letter to His children.” Mother Teresa
Reflect or meet with someone to discuss:
When you think of servanthood, what comes to mind? Who comes to mind?
How do you think you are when it comes to serving?
What ways can you get better at serving?
