being a servant

Ya know, serving is one of the major parts of relationship that most people tend to forget.  Having a servant for a husband or having a servant for a wife is one of the best possible scenarios that a marriage can become.  Jesus called us to be servants to each other because He came to serve us.  If we want to be like Jesus in our relationships and marriage then we need to serve each other.  Though I may not be in a relationship right now, I can tell you that I am.  Jesus and I are doing great! :) I long to serve Him in everything I do.  I know that I will fail and falter but my faith will never be shaken.  Serving God is one of the best things that I can do in this world.  Wait, THE best thing I can do in this world!!  When others see me I want them to see Jesus.  I am learning to serve those around me the best that I know how and with God's help I will improve.  Jesus also serves me with His best.  It is a great relationship! 

But, for those who are in a relationship or not in one but trying to figure out how to make it work when you are single, SERVE!  That is my answer.  In order to be a Christian that is not just a face value, hold your hand up in the air, HONK-IF-YOU-LOVE-JESUS Christan, you need to act like Jesus, read AND study His word, pray.  These are the basics and necessities for being a servant of God.  When you have these, you will be a GREAT servant to your spouse.  You do not want to be in a relationship where one person is selfish and the other serves all the time, do you?  That is not what Jesus called us to do.  That is just selfish.  He called us to SERVE!!! Trust me, I am learning this like no other.  It is hard to serve those who are ungrateful, but you know what.... Jesus did it all the time without complaining, and did it with more love than you and I could EVER know.  He loves you.  He loves those around you.  So why not be Jesus to those people and serve them.  Then once you get into a relationship, Jesus will be the center and serving will be that much greater of a reward!  I'm ready to serve Jesus to the best of my ability and more... how about you?
