Servant's Heart

We should want to be a servant like the Lord. He showed us an example on how to serve others in John 13, where He washed and wiped His disciples feet. He also died on the cross for our sins and rose up on the third day. We need to live for others by serving, loving, and showing them towards the right path. We need to be humble, meek, helpful, and loving to everyone- not just our friends but also our enemies (Matthew 5:44 says, But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;). We need to ask for a servant's heart like Christ's. We should let Him take our lives and mold them into His will for us. We should let the Holy Spirit fill us (Eph. 3:18b, ...be filled with the Spirit). We shouldn't quench Him (I Thessalonians 5:19) by ignoring Him and keeping our lives in sin. Let us ask Him to draw us closer to Him everyday. We want His love to shine in our actions and words. We need to also be a witness like Him. Always share the love of the cross: Christ's death and resurrection. Be persistent in showing and sharing the gospel to everyone. We need to be ready to serve Christ whenever and wherever.
"Give me Lord, a servant's heart."

Hey Abby! I'm sorry it took me so long to figure out how to comment on other people's blogs. Man, I'm slow. Any way, I like how it's completely centered in on God. Nice work! Maybe some polls will help you see what other readers think of your blogs. And maybe some more pics. I like it though. It is a fountain of spiritual teachings! :)
