"I realized how close I am every day to losing my servant's heart. I never, ever want to NOT want to serve people. Does that make sense? I want to serve people gladly, with joy, always. Always.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."
Colossians 3:23-24 (NIV)"
During the past few months, I've been feeling God nudging me to help people - I get this overwhelming feeling that I should be doing something. I just feel like I need to help people. But then, something comes up, I forget about that prompting, and I lose myself in homework or walk lists or books, and the feeling goes away for a while.
I'm saying this publicly so I can't back out on it: I will start helping people wherever I can. I have to start trusting God to lead me where He needs me to work in people's lives, and I hope to high heaven I can do Him justice while I'm serving. I want to shine a light into people's lives, and show them that whatever is happening in their lives right now aren't the be all and end all - God is. I want to minister to people in my own little sphere of influence, and I want to serve people whenever I possibly can. Now I just need to give up my death grip on controlling my own life and let God lead me to the people He wants me to serve.
