Why do people not suffer to serve? People include me!
Why is it OK to sit year after year with zero movement towards service? Aren't you not serving right now so you can gain all the knowledge you need through teaching to serve with purpose? When does all that knowledge come by the way? at 30? at 40? Your never really are fully ready to serve God, until by grace you serve. God will be there when you fall into it, grace saves and grace sustains.
No one signs up to serve, its not a flavor of the month, God appoints us to service. Paul made an incredibly powerful point, "to serve by God's grace that allows you to overcome your sin to introduce other to Christ to overcome there sin." That is a call out right there. That isn't a 5 step program or a blank to fill in, its truth, and its blinding.
Jesus came to serve and not to be served, oh but wait he didn't have small kids or a baby, grow up! people are perishing, that outweighs your level of comfort trust me. There will be no greater joy than extending the grace that was given freely to you. Just ask someone what its like for someone to be so moved by your small part that they wrap there arms around you and say thank you.
Serving is pouring ourselves out to others.
Love your neighbors, not in YOUR way either. Love them like Christ loves the church.

ReplyDeleteIt doesn’t need to be a frilly request, if you WANT to help we’d really appreciate it :) It’s a direct call…you MUST serve somewhere, period! It's sad really that most people can't see past themselves long enough to even realize the ministries that desperately need help.
