I had a neat moment last Wednesday: an old friend “facebooked” me & emailed me a MP’3 message he taught his church on being a servant and being “incarnational.”  Being the Body of Christ in “our world” is a big focus for Harvest Church right now, & earlier that same morning I was meditating on having a servant-heart.  So here’s a few thoughts on a very important matter:

God Almighty, the animator of all things, needs your permission to act in your life.   It’s the “privilege” of being a Free Moral Agent.  But Jesus’ example to us was lay aside His privileges. I believe He acts through us when we “lay our life down” to serve another.

If you want to be more like Christ then desire to be better at serving.  Everything He did was for others & not Himself.

If you want to be more like Jesus you can’t pick & choose which parts you want to be like. He’s offering His entire Self to us!  What an indescribable gift!

Phil. 2:1-11 Implementing this passage into our lives would see our lives change almost over night!  That’s a powerful reality!

Ultimately it’s not whose for you or against you – it’s who you are for!  Who are you supposed to serve?  What people are you called to serve?
Follow the Person of Christ & find peace.  Follow the principles of Christ & find abundance.  Both are by His grace!  Giving… serving really make us look like Jesus.
