=========================== TODAY'S ARTICLE ==========================
Free to Serve, by Paul Faulkner
Growing up, we all had our turn at jobs -- like cutting grass with that
old mower that didn't cut very well or cleaning the woodwork in the
kitchen or worst of all, cleaning the tub, lavatory, and commode.
Those little, tough jobs kids hate doing change as we grow up. They
grow into larger, tougher jobs we still don't enjoy doing! But
Christians know that even the simplest, most disagreeable job can be
meaningful when we do it for the Lord. As we do things out of love for
Him, serving becomes a blessing whether anyone else thanks us or not --
even the little, tough jobs that nobody likes.
We are free to serve!
The apostle Paul reminds us that the Lord calls us to be free -- free
to serve and to bless.
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not
use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one
another humbly in love (Galatians 5:13 TNIV).
So let's serve one another in love.
