Servant (hearted)
It’s
one of the things I long to be…but so often fall short.
Thinking
of others first. Putting the needs of
those that God has entrusted me with before my own. Seeking to serve rather than to be
served. Giving even when no “thank you” is
said. Cleaning with a cheerful heart for
the bazillioneth time – knowing that tomorrow I’ll be doing it again for the
bazillioneth and 1th time. Loving
regardless of the return. Serving with a
heart that has pure motives. Dying to self and selfishness (oh how I despise my selfishness). Doing
whatever it is that I’m doing unto the Lord and not for men (or children)(or
approval)…
Serving
with all that I’ve got, knowing that there is One who sees – and One who is
pleased. And That One is happy to sing
over me while I clean dishes and wash laundry and clean up messes (of all
kinds) - if only I could tune my ear to hear His songs more often.
And That One is The One who has
set the greatest example of being a servant (while being The One that should be
served most)…
