“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10
If Christ is the head of our Christian life, serving is at the heart. When you serve, it connects your heart to the heart of Jesus. Matthew 20:28 says, just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Jesus has a servant’s heart, and so should His disciples.
The willingness to serve is a decision to be available for God’s use. It is not a willingness to help out, or lend a hand, but rather, a willingness to serve. Godly service is a lifestyle of putting others first and a willingness to set aside our personal agenda in order to serve others on their terms.
There may be no positive feedback, no recognition, and no special thanks. However, a willingness to serve is the purest expression of a heart filled with Gods’ love. When we serve, we reflect the heart of God!
Are you willing to serve?
