~Philippians 2:7
If Jesus, who is God, was willing to lay down His life and be a servant, how much more should I, who am noone of great worth, be willing to live my life as a servant to God and others?
I'm learning a lot this year about humbly surrendering to God. I guess for a little bit I enjoyed being in the spotlight for following God; I enjoyed others seeing me as someone who is going the right direction and living a "godly" life. The truth is, I'm beginning not to want that anymore. I'm building up treasure in heaven and am doing all to the Lord. Now, I know noone else will notice, so I can do everything whole-heartedly to God. It suddenly isn't about the "atta girl" but about being a servant, about being nothing, about being unseen... So He can be seen all the more clearly in me.
