"...Jesus in this passage bids us the greatest invitation we could ever receive. He invites us into slavery! A slavery that when performed to perfection results in death..."
"...But when we choose to be a servant, we give up the right to be in charge. There is great freedom in this. If we voluntarily choose to be taken advantage of, then we cannot be manipulated. When we choose to be a servant, we surrender the right to decide who and when we will serve. We become available and vulnerable..."
It's going to take some powerful changes in me to get me looking anything like those quotes by this summer. I will pray that I can make those changes. I'm not even really sure that I want to be a servant, but yet I see something 'specially good about it, too...(there are conflicting desires).
I'm looking forward to Memorial Day!
