"whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave." Matthew 20:27
To be a slave that isn't something the world holds as a place of honor, God does. We have many great examples, Mother Teresa, Saint Francis, Padre Pio, Jesus. To them it wasn't slavery, it was a labor of love. They weren't striving to be first, they were doing what God asked them to do. Are you able to offer yourself to God, to be at His service, if so the banquet will be prepared for you. Do you see the opportunities God puts in front of you?
Dear Lord Jesus, we were all created for a special purpose in Your plan, may we set aside the things that impede our growth. Pride and envy have no place in Heaven, may I not fall victim to these traps. Thank You for the beautiful weather and the freshness in the air. Lord, may I do Your will today and not worry about tomorrow, may I accomplish what is placed in front of me today. I thank You for answered prayer. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
