SERVE OTHERS (Day 2 of 6)
(Need to start at the beginning? Day 1)
So I was sitting in church yesterday and the worship team lead us in the song I Will Follow. Here are a couple of lines from the song.
Who you love, I’ll love. How You serve, I’ll serve. Christ Tomlin, I Will Follow
I spent the rest of worship just bowled over. Do I love everyone He loves? Do I serve the way He serves?
Now, I know He doesn’t expect me to go to a literal Roman cross for others, but does He want me to go to a metaphorical cross? Have I set down my life in service? Am I willing to sacrifice my time and energy for others? Or do I just do the comfortable, easy kind of service. Yeah, I’ll pick up some milk for you while I’m at the store.
I’ve served in a lot of ways in my life, but this bit of lyrics has wrecked my heart. It reflects a higher heart standard.
I’m going to be singing I Will Follow all week.
Where are you in your journey of learning to serve? Where has it been easy? More difficult? Are you able to joyously serve your spouse? Others?
I mentioned that I went thrifting with a friend. I picked up several ceramic serving dishes (unintentional pun).
I’m looking forward to the holidays and sharing lots of goodies. (This is a gentle reminder that the holidays are coming, and it’s helpful to plan ahead. Decide ahead of time what you will and won’t do. Be sure to have that conversation with your spouse so you can be on the same page.)
