Slave or Servant, you tell me?!

Whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant… just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. ~ Matthew 20:26-28

So are you a slave or a servant? Do you share what you have with others, serving with a heart full of love? Or do you slave away at your job/life wondering when it will be over, how much longer, and thinking “Man, I’m worth more then they pay me!” I can honestly say I have gone through season in both areas. What I am always reminded of is God supplies all my needs. And he will do so if I continue to do MY part, serve where he has placed me. Most importantly serve as Jesus would serve, there is freedom is serving, but bondage in slavery.

Here are some differences:
* A slave has to -- a servant gets to.
* A slave does the minimum requirement -- a servant reaches the maximum potential.
* A slave goes one mile -- a servant goes the extra mile.
* A slave feels robbed -- a servant gives.
* A slave is bound -- a servant is free.
* A slave fights for his rights -- a servant lays down his rights.

How freeing to be a servant, how fulfilling it will be to lay down my wants and pick up God’s. I challenge you to evaluate your life and accept God’s challenge to live as a servant.

Therefore, let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things which one may edify another. ~ Romans 14:19
