Good Morning! Be encouraged today, learn to serve others.
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45)
A servant is one who, even when in positions of leadership seeks to lead and influence others through lives given in ministry for the blessing of others and their needs. A heart of a servant is serving others without the desire of some form of exaltation - position, praise, prestige, and power. Learn to live as servants out of a faith relationship with God through Christ.
Morning Prayer: Abba Father, continue to renew in me a steadfast heart of following after You. Disrupt the ugly parts of myself, the selfish, prideful, judgmental elements of my flesh, that hinder the emergence of Your Spirit. Pour Your Spirit into me and fill my cup. Then, pour me out that I may be filled up MORE with You! Less of me, and more of You, always. Thank You for Your patience with me, especially when I do not obey Your leading, or when I struggle with serving in love. Holy Spirit, give me a servant’s heart to serve in deep love and compassion and to do what is needed even when it’s inconvenient. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
