Sunday arrived here in the East of Venezuela, it is a cloudy day but the impending rain does not stop the Christians who attend the Church to serve God with love. Lady Lorennys prepares her voice to Sing: How great He is! 🎶
It is the Lord's day, like every day.
A special greeting to all who gather here at SteemChurch.
Someone said a very strong sentence but, like the clouds that are on my head, full of reflection:
HE THAT IS NOT BORN TO SERVE, DOES NOT SERVE TO LIVE
A young neighbor dies in a car accident and the words of encouragement of some people were: -We died to die- What poorer concept to encourage someone.
No, we were not born to die, on the contrary, we were born to live, we were born to be a blessing to others, we were born to love, we were born to smile and be happy, we were born to serve God with all our hearts.
A selfish request of John and James, disciples of Jesus, caused discomfort in the group ... they wanted to rule next to God, to sit one on the right and one on the left, and they were willing to pay even with their own blood for that .
In a similar way, our world is sick with ambition of power, they have everything but they are not satisfied, even in the church of Jesus Christ we have this inconvenience, unfortunately. Thousands of Christian denominations have been born because nobody wants to be governed.
Also thousands of churches are closed because there are many 'Caciques' and little Indians, (*** Popular said in Venezuela that refers to that everyone wants others to serve him, but they are not willing to do it ***)
Sadly, the Church faces this problem worldwide, there are many candidates to govern but few candidates to serve ...
Jesus Christ faced this tragedy in his work team, he countered it in the most eloquent way:
But Jesus, calling them to them, said to them, "You know that those who are considered rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. But it will not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you will be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you will be a servant of all. Because the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.
Mark 10: 42-45
HERE IT WILL NOT BE THAT WAY ... SAID JESUS ​​...
I would like that one day, someone will found a church with a welcome sign saying: *** Here, who wants to be great, must be willing to serve. ***
They are the words on the sign of Jesus for us brothers, do not live for wrong reasons, not for people to see in you a proud person, place humility in your heart and be great before God and before men. ..
I was surprised by a confession of on the Board of Directors, and I say it, not with the intention of revealing its secrets, but to cite an opportune example of humility, for all of us who are part of
or another Church, anywhere of the world.
I was never cut out to lead to Church, though I could be the best Administrator the world has ever known - along with the best blogger! ; )
SK
Not everyone opens the way for another to lead, however, SK has been showing examples in all facets of the Church of Steem. There will always be someone who will be willing to serve, even when they are authorized to govern.
The important thing is to understand that all those born of God, those who are children of Jesus Christ, were born to serve their neighbor. No matter how insignificant your work, do it well and with love.
Pedro, if you do not let me wash my feet with me, you're not part of me.
-Jesus Christ-
Consider from today to serve God with love in any community of the new structure of our beloved SteemChurch...
