Sevanthood

How many people you know that has a servants heart? I mean one that truly will do anything to help another out? I was reminded today of Gods provision on the faithful. Today I am reflecting on servant hood and praying to be more like Christ in this matter. Here is a true story about my husband serving his family and a Pastor serving his (little flock). We just moved and were so pressed for money that my husband did everything to give me and the girls what we needed, and I was too selfish to even notice the hole in the bottom of his work boots! He went to our pastors house for a meeting and our pastor noticed when Chad had crossed his legs. It was winter time and he works outside most of the time, and while they were conversing the pastor began removing his NEW boots and giving them to Chad to place on his feet! I cried as Chad told me he felt the warmth from where my pastor wore them! Now I do not know the shoe brand but what I do know is when there is a need and you can fill it, the cost of things do not matter. I have heard many people say they would give me the shirt off their backs, but if asked I promise they would think twice about it. Why? Because it costs money and although they may give me the shirt they bought at the Dollar Store, I guarantee they would not wanna give up the shirt they bought from the mall! The Bible says, ♥Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: FOR WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS, THERE WILL YOUR HEART BE ALSO.♥ Matt 6:19-21 You see, money should not be the thing that define us and we can have all the riches in the world and still not be content, but when you serve each other with humility and you are willing to give away to someone in need rather than be selfish and hoard it all for yourself, then you are truly wealthy! Our pastor was laying treasures up in Heaven when he took and gave to his brother in Christ! ♥ Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour PREFERRING one another ♥ Romans 12:10
