Heart of a Servant

Proverb 4:23 – Guard your heart above all else, for it is the source of life.

Our hearts are the center of who we are. It is from our hearts that we gain the desire to serve. Whatever begins in our hearts will affect our whole life. That is why we are encouraged in the scriptures to guard our hearts.

It is from our hearts that we serve not only God but others. To have a heart of a servant, we must be committed to the things of God and to follow His plan for our lives.

Each of us has been called to serve others, which means that we have a desire to make a difference. To serve others means that we have a desire to help people from all walks of life. As we serve, we must be courageous and not be afraid or ashamed to appear small in the eyes of the world to benefit the lives of people.

A person with a servant’s heart gladly receives assignments, serves with a glad heart, and is willing to be led by the Holy Spirit of God, as they serve.

Some people in our society look down on those who clean or serve in restaurants or other service-related industries. They overlook the fact that many of these people are successful because they serve others and meet the needs of people.

It does not matter what your vocation is, as long as you are serving people in some way. What we must realize is that service is our highest calling, as it was for Jesus. He came to earth to save a needy people on the cross at Calvary.

Jesus served us by dying! As you serve, you are becoming more and more like Jesus.

Ponder and meditate on this:

Do I have a heart to serve others?
