Jesus said that He did not come to be served, but to serve (Mark 10:45). In saying this, He established the standard for those who claim His name. We are to be servants, not masters who lord it over others. In the Church, we talk about humility. How do you practice servanthood? Do you look for opportunities to serve that only utilize your talents, or your general skill? Do you serve with the expectation that you will be praised or rewarded afterwards, or only to be satisfied that you have served others in Christ’s name? What do you expect in response to your service? A hearty thanks, or a trophy?

These are some things to ponder on. Feel free to comment on your attitude of service.
