Doing It His Way
Contemporary society places a strong emphasis on the cultural value of individualism and self-reliance.
Just walk through the self-help section at your local bookstore. And scan through the array of “love me” books.
This notion of self-love is extremely important. After all you cannot love or give to another person unless you love your self. However, many of us fail to recognize the beauty of servitude and the blessing of sharing our rich and abundant lives with others.
Some may say, “well I don’t have a rich life I have financial problems I’m suffering my self…what can I possibly give?”
I encourage you to express your disgust with your life with a homeless person, or a person who is terminally ill.
Servitude was the nucleus of Jesus Christ’s ministry. While on earth Jesus served His disciples, the sick and destitute, and the rich and poor. Jesus did not seek materialism or self-promotion.
We must remember that our lives are not meant to be lived for our own convenience. Each day holds a special meaning that is beyond our personal agendas.
When you begin to serve someone other than yourself; your various trials and angst immediately become replaced with contentment, peace, and joy.
The pursuit for temporary happiness can be traded for the sheer joy of serving and giving of yourself. And in return, your soul and spirit become refreshed.

Philippians 2:3
Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves.
