Philippians 2: 20 – 21 NLT
I
have no one else like Timothy, who genuinely cares about your welfare. All the others care only for themselves and not for
what matters to Jesus Christ.
To be a servant of the most
high God, you actually have to think like a servant.
Naturally, we’re all
intricately wired to think only of ourselves.
Timothy stood out in the
crowd to Paul.
He cared about other people,
just like Jesus did.
Learning to give attention to
the needs of other people, can only come through the supernatural.
The Holy Spirit is the only
One, who can give us that kind of desire.
To take upon the mind of a
servant, it must always start with Jesus.
Once we fall head over heels
in love with Jesus, becoming a servant, becomes a part of our normal thought
process.
The reason that is, is
because Jesus was a self proclaimed servant, and He not only proclaimed it, He
took it to action and was a servant example.
The needs of other people,
mattered so much more, than Him (Jesus) satisfying His own needs.
We can think about being a
servant all we want to, but until we actually become one, we won’t be able to
think like a servant.
A servant sees the extreme
needs of the people around them, and then they go into immediate action.
The more we notice the needs
of others, as opposed to seeing/meeting our own needs—the journey towards being
a true godly servant, has begun…
