Servant

Mother’s Day is Sunday for those of you who have lost track of time. Each day seems like the last. There is no distinction between days. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. As mothers, it’s an endless cycle of care. We care for our loved ones. We care for our home. We serve. We are servants. I’m sure we didn’t think that motherhood would translate to servanthood, and that’s not a bad thing. Christ reminds us time and time again about the importance of servanthood. In order to be first, you must be last. The Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve. The bible even instructs us on how to serve. We are to do everything unto the Lord. Serve with all your soul in love. Your labor is not in vain. 1 Corinthians 16:14 Let all that you do be done in love.

Well Done

Matthew 25:21 (KJV) His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

The ultimate goal is to hear God say, "Well done." In order to achieve this, I must recognize that my first title is servant. My life should be a life of service. Every other role in my life is secondary, yet still connected to the other areas I must serve. I am a servant of God. I called to serve my husband, my family, and my job. I am not an owner, but a steward. The aim is to be faithful over the areas of my life God has blessed me to serve. This requires a change of perspective and a great deal of humility. Have you accepted that even as a CEO, a wife, a husband, a supervisor, a manager, and an entrepreneur that your first calling is to serve? Do you recognize that ownership is not stewardship? Everything belongs to God...even you. Lastly, do you recognize the blessing of being called to be a servant? Remember, the goal is to hear God say, "well done my good and faithful servant."
