A SERVANT OF GOD!

A SERVANT OF GOD!


Jesus lived the
GREATEST SERVANT'S LIFE of
All time=giving his life UP
FOR ALL


But we know of his GLORY=
It is easy for us to FORGET about
HIS SERVANT'S LIFE
On a day to day basis


We too=should TRY
To live A SERVANT'S LIFE
Like Jesus=
GIVING of ourselves


“Look to the Lord
In his strength
Seek to SERVE him constantly” Psalm 105:4


I desire to SERVE GOD=
To serve Jesus=to be CLOSE
To God and Jesus
It is not easy


Because SERVING God and Jesus=involves
SERVING OTHERS=it means giving
Ourselves up for others=on a
Day-to-day basis


And it means PRAYING for others FIRST
Praying for ourselves-
Thinking of ourselves second=
Or even LAST


Living as a SERVANT
Of God=trying to do it
Like Jesus did=though we
CAN NEVER live up to that


“Let your face
Shine on your SERVANT
Save me
In your unfailing love” Psalm 31:16


“After he has suffered
He will see
The light of life
And be satisfied


By his knowledge
His righteous SERVANT
Will justify many


And he will bear
The iniquities” Isaiah 53:11


“Jesus replied........,
Whoever SERVES ME
Must follow me
And where I am
My SERVANT will also be


My Father
Will honor the one
Who SERVES ME” John 12:26


Serving God=serving Jesus
Being a servant to OTHERS=
LIVING a life for others
Is NOT an easy thing to do


The first step for Jesus=
And the first step for us
Is to ALWAYS
Be praying for others FIRST


We must SELF-EMPTY ourselves
To God=we must give
All that we have for others=
To REALLY live a servant's life


BOWING before God our SOURCE-
We reach out to care for
And to HELP OTHERS in need


Living a life of SERVICE
Like religious men and women=policemen
And women=doctors and nurses
Is NOT an easy life


They are always
REACHING OUT
To serve others first
Before serving themselves


“No one can SERVE
Two masters


Either you will hate one
And love the other
Or you will be
DEVOTED to one
And despise the other


You cannot SERVE
Both God and money” Matthew 6:24


Dear Lord=THANK YOU
For being the GREATEST SERVANT
Of all time


Help us to FOLLOW you
And stay FOCUSED on who we
WERE MEANT TO BE


A SERANT and follower of you


In Jesus' name and in the name of God=our ALL LOVING FATHER
