SERVING IS A SIMPLE WAY TO EXPRESS GOD'S LOVE TO OTHERS

SIMPLE INSIGHT: Serving is a simple way to express God’s love to others.  As you start seeing God work in you, it’s natural to want to serve others.  It feels good to do something for others.  Jesus said that the greatest in His kingdom is the servant of all (Matthew 23:11).  Jesus also said that the person who wants to find life must lose it for His sake (Matthew 16:25).  Sometimes we can think that if we give out (time, money, energy, etc.), we risk a loss somehow.  But Jesus says that serving is the best way to enjoy the life that God intended!  Check out John 13:1-16

SIMPLE PRACTICE:  This week consider getting involved in a ministry and serving at the church, or in the community, or a special project.  There are so many avenues to serve others in.

“Lord, You were a servant.  Help me to be one as well.  That others may see the change You’ve done in me and can do for them as well.  In Jesus’ Name.  Amen."
