Leading Others...Or Serving Others? Hmmm....

I was thinking about things while I was riding my lawnmower this morning. If you've never tried thinking about life and such while riding a lawnmower...you should.

One of my thoughts was this:

"Leading people to Christ"

"Good leaders serve"

"Serving people to show them Christ's love"

Take a moment in the next few days to really invest in someone's life. What people saw at NewSpring this Mother's Day is an example of how desiring to serve someone can change lives.

It is how we serve that shows people who Christ truly is, not a punishing, angry God, but the very meaning of Service.

I've noticed some things about people who serve Christ...they serve others. They love all people, because Christ loved all people.

It is evident through service. Serving has to do with humility and generosity.

Jesus was humble and generous with his life, even unto death.

Is being Humble and Generous a cross that we need to dust off and pick up? I know I could definitely do better. Especially in relationships and even with strangers.

That is one of my goals. To follow Christ in humility, generosity, and servanthood.

When we are leading people to Christ, or if we hope to show them the greatness of God, we don't have to walk on water to show them Jesus...

Sometimes it takes a simple act of service.

Serve others. Serve those that need to know the love of Christ. Lead by Serving.
