Servanthood Devotional
Embracing the Heart of a Servant
As followers of Christ, we are called to serve others just as Jesus served during His time on earth. It’s not about seeking recognition or applause, but about humbly and selflessly meeting the needs of those around us.
Jesus as the Ultimate Example
Jesus, the Son of God, came not to be served, but to serve and to give His life as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45). He washed the feet of His disciples, healed the sick, and tirelessly ministered to people from all walks of life. We are called to follow in His footsteps and serve with the same love and compassion.
Living a Life of Servanthood
True servanthood is not merely about action; it begins with the heart. When we cultivate a heart of humility, compassion, and empathy, our service to others becomes a natural outpouring of our love for them and for God. It’s not about what we do, but why and how we do it.
