JOURNAL/A SERVANT'S HEART

JOURNAL/A SERVANT'S HEART




“Jesus said, “THE GREATEST among you must be your SERVANT-WHOEVER exalts himself
WILL be humbled-but whoever humbles himself-will be exalted” Matthew 23:11-12


HOW MANY of us want to be great in this world-I would venture to guess ALL of us-but how many
of us want to WALK THE WALK that Jesus walked-and be a SERVANT to ALL-and be humiliated in front of the whole world


Dear Lord-WE PRAY for the heart of a servant-and though we may NOT have to physically wash our friends' feet as Jesus did before his crucifixion-we PRAY that we RECOGNIZE the needs of others and
we have the COURAGE to RESPOND with the heart of a SERVANT


it is A GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us and a GREAT day to RESPOND with a SERVANT'S HEART

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
