Attitude of Servitude

The Good News Today Is...having a heart of service is as easy as opening your ears and your eyes to really listen to what those around you are in need of and then helping them out. OK - well maybe the easy part is opening your ears and eyes, the service part and helping them out might be a bit harder, but the rewards are awesome. Sometimes it is the person right in front of us that Jesus would have us help and serve. I believe everyone in our lives are there for a purpose. The best neighbors and the worst neighbors come into our lives and we should greet them both with an attitude befitting of Jesus. We are meant to be beacons of light for all of those we encounter. A heart of service may mean that we are to serve at a local food shelf or the like. It might also mean just being there for our friends, families and neighbors in their times of need. Whatever the Holy Spirit leads you to do in service do it gladly and do it with love. Today would be a good day to ask the Spirit for opportunities to practice having a serving heart,then open your eyes and ears and respond in love. It is the way we should live our lives and God will give us the grace we need to do it!
