Just last week I got to serve at the Food share and Farm program that our church runs I got to give away fresh produce , in the name of Jesus , and it was such a joy living out the truth that is more blesssd to give than to receive . I’ve come to realize something powerful : serving isn’t just something I do , it’s something that shapes who I become . Everytime I choose to serve I’m. drawn closer to the heart of God . Serving moves me out of self -focus and into God’s perspective.It shifts my attention from my own needs to the needs of others .And in that shift ,something changes inside me .My heart softens .My awareness deepens .My life begins to reflect -Jesus more clearly Jesus said something that reframed everything for me !”For even the Son of Man did not come to be served , but to serve , and to give His life as a Ransom for many .”(Mark 10:45). He didn’t come to be served -He came to serve ,that means if I want to follow Him ,I have to embrace the same posture . Serving is an invitation into transformation .When I serve , I began to see people the way Jesus sees them .I listen more deeply and give more generously . I’ve seen firsthand , how serving changed perspective .A moment of obedience can turn into a moment of joy what once felt like a task becomes an encounter with God’s presence , and we csn experience that every time we engage with God . Serving also reminds me that life is not just about accumalation , it’s about contributing .It’s not just about what I receive but what I give ,and receive ,I find purpose where can you serve today ?You won’t regret it , if you do ! Today , I want to love with open hands and a willing heart I want to serve not out of obligation , but out of love ….Just like Jesus .Let’s pray together :Jesus thank You for showing me what true service looks like .Give me eyes to see people the way you see them and a heart that is willing to serve without hesitation .Shape me through every opportunity to serve so that I reflect Your love more clearly ,In the name of Jesus ,Amen !Never forget , my friend .You are a miracle -Grant Fishbook
