Project Serve Squared Before


I have been thinking a lot about what it means to serve lately. And we were talking about it a lot this week at church and I think that sometimes we get so consumed with this attitude that I need to serve other people that we forget to serve God. Another question that came up as I was studying this is who do I allow to serve me?

I think that we are so use to serving other people that we don't remember that sometimes we need people to help us or serve us. If I can be honest this question makes me uncomfortable. I don't like being served I like to do the serving. It makes me "feel" better to serve than to be served.

How do I let people serve me? I'm not talking about a person at a hotel serving us or having a server. I'm talking about really reaching out to someone and telling them what is going on and why I need help.

I think that serving becomes something that we can easily get addicted to. These are a couple of thoughts that are entering my mind as we are heading into project serve.

One thing that I want student to walk away with is knowing that they are not the only people in this world. That people are in need all around them. But, it takes us asking those tough questions to find the need.

I don't know some of these answers and I feel like these are questions that have been wrestling in my spirit for a while. So, I'm left just thinking which is a good place to start

Peace,
Scott
