Mark 10:43-45
“whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 44and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. 45For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”"
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
The Muscular Dystrophy Association Soiree was held Saturday, April 18 at the Royal Hawaiian. It was a charity event that I and twenty other awesome people from Grace Bible Church volunteered at in order to raise funds in finding a cure for patients who have muscular dystrophy. For six hours hours or so, teams of us were split into the silent auction, food booths, selling balloons and asking for donations.
Serving and volunteering are important in building unity and allowing yourself to grow. It provides an opportunity for us to see our world in a different perspective, gain exposure to new situations, and make a difference in other people’s lives. Since a lot of us deal with pride, serving gives you the opportunity to help other people instead of focusing on yourself.
But perhaps the greatest attribute about serving is the ability to use the gifts God gave us to show His love towards others. Jesus served with love and compassion for others. Above all that He did and stood for, He had a servant’s heart and that is something that we need to instill in our lives as well.
At the end of the night, all of us were blessed. Not only were we able to serve at the soiree, we were blessed with a suite at the Sheraton, free food, but we grew(relational wise) with each other and spiritual through conversations and worship.
God is good, all the time. And all the time ,God is good.
Jesus Loves You
