"As each has receive a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace"
1 Peter 4:10. Hello everyone Don here, today God has laid it on my heart to talk about the call to serve, the bible is full of examples of our call to serve others. Imagine a world where everyone answered this call, the young helping the old the rich serving the poor, I think it would be a little glimpse of what heaven looks like. Jesus gives us the countless example of service "When He had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place he said to them, "Do you understand what I have done for you? You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet." John 13: 12-14 or "Even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Matthew 20:28. I could go on and on but the point is we are all called to serve, whether it be serving in our church, our community, our country, or half way around the world. It can be as simple as sharing a smile with someone who really needs it, or holding a door open for someone, God will use your service and multiply the yield exponentially. Service comes in many forms it can be physical service, financial support, or emotional support, it all depends on how God uses the gifts that He has given you for the glory of His kingdom. So this week I encourage everyone to spend some time in prayer and ask God "How can I serve my brothers and sisters for the furtherance of your Kingdom?" and really let God speak into you and His almighty plan for your life. It all comes down to following the example of Jesus by showing and spreading God's love to all "A new commandment I give you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you are also to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." John 13:34-35.
For something a little different I would love to hear how God is using you, leave a comment about who you are and how you are answering the call to serve. I think it would be great to see God's hands and feet serving around the world, and you may help to inspire someone who is feeling the call to serve. Can't wait to hear from you.
Blessings
