A SERVANT’S HEART


We are called
To be servant’s of God

We are called
To be
Servants of the world

Does that
Sound strange to you
It does to me

Yet when the brothers-James and John
Jesus’ apostles
Asked to sit at his right and left hands
When he comes into glory
This was Jesus’ response:

“You know
That those who are regarded
As rulers of the Gentiles
Lord it over them
And their high officials
Exercise authority over them

Not so with you
Instead whoever wants to
Become great among you
Must be your servant

And whoever
Wants to be first
Must be slave to all

For even the Son of Man
Did not come to be served
But to serve

And to give his life
As a ransom for many”                                                                             Mark 10:42-45

Are you serious Lord
Our culture
Basically tells us
That if we are NOT number 1
That we are nothing

Yet you are telling us
That to be like you
That we are to be beneath all

WHAT A DIFFICULT LESSON
WHAT A DIFFICULT TEACHING

Yet we KNOW HE is right

For he did not
Just talk the talk
He walked the walk

And died-mocked-and humiliated
But ROSE again
Because of his FAITH in his Father

I ALWAYS wanted
To be number 1
I wanted to be the one
To SAVE the world

Yet because of
My health and financial situations
It is others
FAMILY AND FRIENDS
Who have STEPPED up
TO HELP ME

Yet I continue
To TRY to have a LOVING HEART
And TRY to be a UNIFYING FORCE
In today’s world

And I can honestly say
I DON’T CARE if I am in last place
And you shouldn’t be either

LOOK around
You are in GOOD company

“Your attitude
Should be the same as that
Of Christ Jesus

Who being-in very nature God
Did NOT consider equality with God
Something to be grasped

But made himself nothing
Taking the very nature
Of a servant
Being made in human likeness

And being found
In appearance as a man
He humbled himself
And became obedient to death
Even death on a cross

Therefore God exalted him
To the highest place
And gave him the name
That is ABOVE every name

That at the name of JESUS
Every knee should bow
In heaven and on earth
And under the earth

And every tongue confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord
To the GLORY of God the Father”                                                               
Philippians 2:5-11

Dear Lord-we pray
HELP us to
Live a life courteous and pleasing
To you
And to all

And that
We have a heart
FULL OF HUMILITY and servant hood
JUST LIKE YOUR SON

IN JESUS’ NAME……..

Ps       We may not be able to save others
           We may not even be able to save ourselves
           We have one master-GOD
           Let us GO OUT into the world as his SERVANTS
