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 SERVANT and follower of you

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