I once heard a preacher say, "Everyone wants to be a servant -- until people start treating you like one." How true! Jesus came not to be served but to give His life for many. Obviously He gave His life on the cross when He died for sinful man, but I think also as He lived He gave His life. How often did He go without sleep? How often did He put off eating? He had no place to lay His head, even though He said the animals have dens and nests. He gave up personal space as He was surrounded by needy people. He gave His time. Am I willing to do the same -- without recognition, without thanks, without breaks?
