Service vs. Servant

Two Things:

1) The first page really hit me. After blogging about this I am going to go study for my AP tests. What a great reminder that while I have this routine in my life where I am constantly trying to "achieve", there is so much more to be fill myself up with and meditate on. I loved Rahner's analogy with the bazaar inside our soul. I guess that I just loved how it echoed the previous week's lesson of solitude.

2) I had never thought about the difference between a heart of service and the heart of a servant. However, after reading this I see how selfish service can be. It's a good thing, but service given up to God is being a servant. And that is the type self abandonment we need in order to fully be in relationship with our creator. I think my favorite things to study and meditate on about God is the fact that while being the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End; He is still the one who humbled himself to save me... the girl who gossip, lies, cheats, and can never come close to repaying him. If he can humble himself enough to save me, the LEAST I can do is fall on my knees and be a servant to his will.
