SERVE OTHERS

SERVE OTHERS

“The greatest among you must be a servant.” Matthew 23:11 NLT

Submit to Other’s Needs CoD, p21

“Submit to each other as you would for Christ.” Ephesians 5:21 NCV

This means choosing to put our own desires and needs below the needs and desires of others.

Often, this is how love is most genuinely and sincerely expressed and practiced.

Service CoD, p126

“What Can I Do?”

We have to be aware of the immediate, everyday needs of our community. Find the most immediate need in your community. Place yourself in the middle of those people’s lives. Does this mean homeless shelters, jails, hospitals, old folk’s homes, orphanages, rehab facilities? Maybe. God will work out your desires. SJ, p121

Getting involved in people’s immediate needs will mean your life changes. It means you take a backseat. SJ, p122
