be a servant!

hey ya'll!
today was pretty good. good for a monday. i like tuesdays & wednesdays much better though. i didnt end up going to school but for 4th period today, because i had a dentist appt. this morning but it was over at like 10:30, but i didnt want to go to 3rd period b/c all i do is sit there so i just went back to school for AP US history b/c i couldnt miss it. haha. then i came home and watched tv and then talked to candace & then went to dance. & now im here. haha.
well i did my devotion last night on how Jesus was a servant, and we should be servants too. 1 Chronicles 28:20 says, "Be strong and of good courage, and do it; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the Lord God-my God-will be with you. He will ont leave you nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord." (NKJV) as Christians, we need to do our best to try & imitate His Son. one thing Jesus did, that we need to do too, is to be a humble servant. the world glorifies power, prestige, fame & money. but thats not what Jesus teaches, or what will glorify Jesus. the best men are the ones who are humble, and help and serve others. Max Lucado said, "There are times when we are called to love, expecting nothing in return. There are times when we are called to give money to people who will never say thanks, to forgive those who won't forgive us, to come early and stay late when no one else notices." and its true. God will call us to do many things. but we have to realize that what others wont notice, God always notices. and gives praise to those who do great things by being servents to him. we need to honor God my imitating Jesus and serving others. so...will you serve the world, or will you serve God?
i love y'all!
God Bless!
