A Servants Heart

Well I am already beginning week 9 which means I only have 3 weeks until I leave for Bangladesh! Time is really flying here. It seems like I just got here but at the same time it seems like this is where I have always been. Its a weird feeling to explain!
I have had a blessed couple of weeks since my last "blogging session." :)
Last week was all about the character of God. Obviously I did not learn everything about His character within one week. That will last my whole life and even then it will not be enough time.
If you have not seen Louis Giglio's video called, How Great is Our God, I encourage you to go watch it! It will blow you away. It speaks of the stars and galaxies God spoke into existence as well as the human body and how complex it is. I thoroughly enjoyed my week of new revelations!
This week our speaker is Art Collins who is speaking on servanthood. What a great topic we all need to hear! We have only had 4 out of the 12 hours he will be speaking but I have already learned so much.
Have you realized the hands that molded the earth are the same hands that washed the feet of the disciples? The greatest servant to walk the earth was Jesus himself. He constantly blessed others not once asking, "now what do I get?" He gave in rich abundance and we hesitate to even give something as small as a part of our lunch away. If we treat each person like it is Jesus, could you imagine the kind of impact Christians would have? The words we speak can only go so far but if we have the love of Jesus pouring out, then we can truly make a difference.
My challenge to you would be to reach out to those around you. It may take a few moments but those few moments will echo in eternity. Matthew 25:40 says, I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. Its time to stop thinking life is all about ourselves. Put the eyes of our Heavenly Father on and see what is actually going on. People are hurting and people need the love of Jesus. This is not a time for selfishness. Be bold and step out in His love.
