John S.

We live in a “me-first” world where people think of themselves before they consider others. However, scripture teaches us that we are to do the opposite and become servants first. Jesus did not come into this world to be served, but to serve us, and we should desire to imitate him. We need to carry a servant’s heart each day and seek ways to serve our community. By serving our neighbors we share God’s love and also create opportunities to share his good news. God has shown me that you don’t have to have similar interests with others to be able to create a connection. Rocking Philippians 2 (holding others superior to you and caring about what others are involved in) will make people love being around you and in turn will give you an opportunity to share the good news. We are so blessed with God’s mercy and grace and need to remember to not keep it to ourselves. By serving others we become living testimonies for Jesus and increase the chances of others coming into a relationship with him.

“For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win with more.“ 1 Corinthians 9:19
