Often times it can be hard to see the purpose in all of it. You do all that is expected, you do it with care and no one recognizes or acknowledges you. If they never did, would you continue to do it?
A heart to serve is difficult to have all the time and while not a requirement for grace, it is a response to the One who sacrificed all for us.
Matthew 20:26-28 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Today when you do that thing that someone needs from you, remember it is sacrifice. It is a choice you make to love and be the light Christ has called you to be. It is time for all of us to stop wondering what we get out of it and just be willing to volunteer our services for one another.
What is it that you can do to serve someone today? Will you do the laundry? Will you take the garbage out? Will you teach or coach or clean for someone else? Can you do it with no expectation?
