ON SERVING WELL
A poem and essay by ILMA
Those who serve the Lord and others devotedly
They show how much they love God faithfully
When we do it to others as we would do it for the Lord
We are following his command and bringing him laud.
Let us applaud those who serve faithfully
They are exuding love and humility
Only by serving others can we prove we love Jesus
It shows that we value others as very precious.

One of the most taken for granted job is the service industry. Many people look up to higher positions in their chosen field because it pays more money and gives them prestige and power. Somehow the idea that leading others by being in top positions will make others respect them more. We live in a world where “service” is something to be ashamed of. Power and positions are given value while serving others are for those who are poor and uneducated.
In God’s economy, it is the opposite. Jesus’ ministry focused on serving others. Jesus was the epitome of “servant leadership.” He didn’t flaunt his power and authority. Even though he was God, he served his own disciples. He shepherded his flock by guiding them and catering to their needs. He championed serving others. We must show appreciation to those who faithfully serve others with much love.

Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly-not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God.
-1 Peter 5:2(NLT)
EAGERNESS TO SERVE
A poem and essay by ILMA
We are all asked to be good stewards of God’s blessing
Are you able to watch over it willingly and not grudgingly?
An eagerness to serve God manifests your faithfulness
Those who are ungrateful cannot hide their carelessness.
Whenever you take responsibility over what you are given
You are showing that you love God and you’ll taste heaven
When you are diligent and persistent to grow in your faith
You are surely going to reap rewards and change your fate.

Have you ever been with someone who drags himself or herself to do things? I know someone who wouldn’t show eagerness to do something for someone. He only does his duties and never do something out of love. It was hard to watch this person always looking glum and depressed. There is no signs of happiness or contentment in his face. All you can see is a lifeless creature moving and walking around, just like a zombie. This person claims he is a Christian. What a disgrace to God’s kingdom to see this zombie-like creature.
Christians are expected to be good stewards of God’s blessings for it shows eagerness to serve him.
PRAYER
Lord, deliver me from discontent and complaining.
REFLECTION
Why is eagerness to serve an important factor in opening up heaven’s gates?
