Stuff That Matters In Life

Jesus calls us to be servants – the greatest is the servant of all.

I don’t mind being a servant, if I am the one who volunteers and chooses to be a servant.  I determine what I will or will not do.

But I don’t like to be forced to be a servant – when someone orders me around, or when I am forced to perform menial tasks. I don’t like to be pushed to beyond my boundaries. But that in fact is the true spirit of servanthood.

Servanthood on my terms is not servanthood at all. I am counted as very little in God’s Kingdom.

This means that when circumstances forces me to humble myself, to take some abuse, I should not complain or be indignant. It really is an opportunity to exemplify true servanthood and climb the ladder of success in God’s Kingdom.
