After reading my daily Purpose Driven Connection devotion from Rick Warren I am reminded of why I am becoming a missionary.
The title of his devotion was, “Jesus measures greatness by service, not status.” Whoever wants to be great must become a servant. Mark 10:43 (MSG)
Everyone wants to lead; no one wants to be a servant. We would rather be generals than privates. Even Christians want to be “servant-leaders,” not just plain servants. But to be like Jesus is to be a servant. That’s what he called himself.
Remember, God shaped you for service, not for self-centeredness.
How can you know if you have the heart of a servant? Jesus said, “You can tell what they are by what they do” (Matthew 7:16 CEV).
Society today beckons leaders. If you are not a leader, we do not want you. Some say they are half and half, servant-leaders. However few people humbly say I am neither, I want to be like Jesus, I am a servant to the master. I confess I am not a leader; I am a follower of the shepherd. One of my daily prayers is, Let God lead me and trust Him to help Ps 37:5 CEV. I want God to lead me as I follow solely after him. All God wants from his servants is a call of obedience to Him.
The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Luke 10:2
I am here Lord, do you hear me calling, use me, send me. I want to be a kingdom builder and a Father pleaser.
