Matthew 20:28
just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.
Did you ever think about all the little things you can do to serve others? I mean it! It doesn’t take a lot of money or time, which we all seem to think we don’t have enough of these days. There are so many little things you can accomplish with just a smile and a kind word.
I am sure we have all experienced the exhausted parent trying to just make it through the checkout lane. Have you let him or her go ahead of you? Have you made the toddler, sitting in the cart, giggle and kept his attention while the parent is putting the items on the counter?
What about the person walking by that looks defeated? Have you ever pointed out that you really like his t-shirt, shoes, or hat? Have you ever given them a big smile and a simple “Hi!”? Have you just let them know they are seen by someone?
Serving your fellow travelers in life doesn’t have to be hard, time-consuming, or expensive. There is a time and place for all of that too. But more times than not, Jesus served the people just by being present and showing kindness and love.
Lord, show me today where I can serve others with love, kindness, and a smile! ~amen
