The Sacrifice Of Service - Habits of the Heart

The Sacrifice of Service

We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters. . . . Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.

1 John 3:16, 18

Ask someone in your household or a close friend what you can do for them today, and then do it!

Reflect on where you recognize a resistance to serve. What is one way you can push through that resistance?

Perhaps by praying as you serve?

Imagining you are serving God?

Meditating on today’s Scripture?

Remember, if you only served others when you felt like it, then you would probably never serve. Sometimes you must lead with your body and your heart will follow.
