Last night I couldn't fall asleep, because I kept thinking about my new house and Watts and my new life that will be starting soon. Then I realized (probably through the prompting of the Holy Spirit most likely) that I am selfish and am not yet the servant God wants me to be. It may seem like I am a servant because of the kind of thing I am committing myself to, but what people don't always understand is that I love this life and it is actually my preference. However, when it comes to serving those outside "my people" I seem to fall short on the servant scale. Why? I think it's because I have not been in the word as much as I need to be. It's funny how I think I can live even one day of godliness without immersing myself (not a sprinkle, but a full emersion) in His word. So I asked God last night what it means to be a real servant, and I think it just means putting others above myself and seeing others as better than myself. "Others" means everyone, not just my Watts people or my best friends, everyone!!! So I pray that Jesus teaches me through His word what real servanthood is like and transforms my heart, so that it overflows with love and servitude for everyone. Yep that's about it...peace and love!
