Servant of All
In Mark 9:35, Jesus teaches that true greatness comes from serving others. In a world that values status and power, Christ calls us to a different kind of greatness—one rooted in humility and love. As Christians, we are to follow Jesus’ example, embracing humility and a servant’s heart in everything we do. He demonstrated this by washing His disciples’ feet, healing the sick, and ultimately sacrificing His life for humanity. Our calling is to be eager to serve, love, and show compassion to a broken world, pointing others to Christ through our actions. When we put others before ourselves and serve with a genuine heart, we reflect the transformative power of His love and bring hope to those in need.
As always, remember, that I love you and I am praying over you!
Today's Scripture
Mark 9:35 (NIV)

God's Guidance:
Serving others is at the heart of Christ’s mission. When we put others before ourselves, we reflect His love and fulfill our calling to be His hands and feet. This selfless service not only impacts the lives of those around us but also brings glory to our Heavenly Father. As we align our actions with His will, we draw closer to Him, experiencing a deeper connection and greater fulfillment in our faith journey. When we serve with a heart rooted in His love, we become vessels through which His grace flows, helping to heal a broken world. Living in union with God’s plans allows His Spirit to fill us, guiding our thoughts and actions to mirror Christ's humility and compassion.
Application to Daily Life:
Look for opportunities to serve those around you. Whether it’s through small acts of kindness or bigger commitments, seek to serve with a joyful heart. Pay attention to the hurt and difficulties in the lives of those around you, and be sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading. God places us in situations where we can be His hands and feet, bringing comfort, encouragement, and practical help to those in need. Ask God to open your eyes to the needs around you and to guide you in ways you can make a meaningful impact. Be willing to step out in faith, trusting that even the smallest acts of love and service can be used by God to bring healing and hope.
