Serving is about attitude

Say goodbye to Jan. However, we are still in Matt. In ch 20, the disciples are grumbling about who will be greatest and sit beside Jesus on His throne. Again, they fail to understand Jesus' mission. In v22, Jesus rebukes them noting you don't know what you are asking. He further clarifies in v26-27. How well are we serving others? Do we do things to "build our resume", or do we truly desire to serve? Everyone seeks a notable reputation, but how many put themselves aside for others. Mother Teresa comes to mind. Even though her fame spread, she did not use that to promote herself, it was to promote her mission and Jesus. How often do we serve without anyone knowing? Or do we seek the applause of men? Try it today without anyone knowing...it truly does a heart well. Come Feb!
