The Purpose Driven Life - Finding Your Purpose


CHAPTER 33 - HOW REAL SERVANTS ACT 


We serve God by serving others.

The world defines greatness in terms of power, possessions, prestige, and position. If you can demand service from others, you've arrived. In our self-serving culture with its me-first mentality, acting like a servant is not a popular concept.

Jesus, however, measured greatness in terms of service, not status. God determines your greatness by how many people you serve, not how many people serve you. 


How can you know if you have the heart of a servant? Jesus said, "You can tell what they are by what the do." 


Real servants make themselves available to serve


Real servants pay attention to needs


Real servants do their best with what they have


Real servants do every task with equal dedication


Real servants are faithful to their ministry


Real servants maintain a low profile

Point to Ponder: I serve God by serving others.


Verse to Remember: "If you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded." Matthew 10:42 (NLT)
