Connecting to Others for God’s Service

Christ and the disciples constantly met the needs of other people. We can stabilize our own hearts during times of difficulty by serving others and then find that our service has brought us a sense of satisfaction and emotional healing.

During Jesus’ time, the Gentile leaders dictated by using carnal power and authority. We as believers, however, are to do just the opposite – we lead by being servants and giving ourselves away to others, as Jesus did. I love the ministry of service that God has called me to and putting on the apron of servanthood is necessary for every believer in Jesus Christ.

If you have deep heart issues against God’s people and avoid serving because of what a few have done to you, then check your heart. Maybe it’s you and not “those Christians.” Jesus said in John 13:35, “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” People may doubt what you say, but they will always believe what you do.

PRAYER: Lord, yes, we can be difficult sometimes, but may we remember how merciful and gracious You are to us. May we choose to put on the apron of service when it is needed, and You have been intentional as to whom this service should be rendered for our growth and Your glory.
