Good morning and a happy frigid Tuesday to everyone. Please be safe on the roads and bridges while heading to work.

As we strive to be like Jesus, there is an attitude that Jesus had that goes against every grain of our flesh. We tend to ‘forget’ about it, and yet, if we don't have this attitude towards our spouses, children, parents, friends, and anyone we wish to have a relationship with, that relationship will fall apart. Jesus gave an example of this when He washed His disciples' feet.

Matthew 20:28 says:

For the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve — and to give his life as a ransom for many.

Now, we may not be called to give our lives up for others, but we are called to serve. What does a life of service look like? We have to look no further than Jesus, but if we need a modern-ish example, Mother Teresa is one such person. She touched the lives of probably millions, and she wasn't anything special, just a vessel for God to use.

We, too, can do great things and help many people. We just need to be His servant. Until we can humble ourselves to be God's servant, our lives will never reach the potential God gave us.

May we learn to humble ourselves before God today and willfully serve Him, not out of duty, but of love.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

-A brother in Christ
