John 15:15
"I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I have learned from my Father I have made known to you."
The coolest thing to me is that Jesus calls us friends. Sometimes It's hard to process that the King of the universe wants to be my friend. I mean, who am I that He would want to be such?
Not only does He want to be my friend, but He loved me so much that He came to my level , lived a sinless life, hung on a cross and died, rose to life, and in the process, broke the chains of death!
How amazing is my God!

Matthew 20:26-28
"Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must become be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave- just as the Son of Man did not come to be
served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
"Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must become be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave- just as the Son of Man did not come to be

Just as Jesus did for me, humbling himself to go from Majesty to lowly carpenter and servant, so should I do for others. As I prepare to head to Uganda, I need to start preparing my heart for the time
I am going to serve the people there in Africa. I know for sure there will be times my flesh will flare up while I'm out on the field, but I can't let the enemy get the best of me if I am to be a servant
and an example of Christ to the people I am going to minister to.

John 12:26
"Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me."
To be honest, the most important words to me are the ones when I go to meet the Lord when He says, "Well done, my good and faithful servant." Nothing is as important to me then getting to hear those words.
I'll go to the ends of the earth to serve the Lord just to hear those words, I'll serve anywhere, and anyone. I know you could be thinking, 'yeah right.' But I'm serious when I say that.
Jesus took on death itself to save me, the least I could do is serve Him with all I have and wherever He wishes to send me.

Ephesians 5:21
"Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ."
Having to submit to someone else is just a part of life. I will have people over me all throughout life so the best thing I should do is humble myself and just submit to those God has put authority over
me. God made us in His image, so I should show respect to others; people that He loves and died for. Showing respect not only for His creations, but to He Himself as well.

Galatians 5:13
"You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love."
In Christ, I am free to do all things, but not all things are beneficial for me. What I am free to do, someone else may have convictions about it and not partake in what I am doing.
And I, instead of causing that person to stumble, I'd much rather use my freedom to NOT do something that could stumble someone. Granted, my flesh doesn't always want to use my freedom that
way. It wants to not care about others convictions and disregard how they feel about it. This is not who I want to be.

1 Corinthians 9:22
"To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible mean I might save some."
Like Paul, I ought to become all things to all people so that I might win save some, even if that means I must humble myself and bring myself to level of whom I am ministering to.
If I am to win some to Christ, I should do whatever it takes to do so.

Romans 15:1
"We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves"
Just like God who bears with my failing, Iought to do the same to those who are weaker then I in certain areas.
Now, I am only human, therefore, my flesh will AND has gotten the best od me in areas I struggle with in my life. A big one for me is anger. I have been dealing with anger that I have been holding
onto for years, but by the grace of God, I am slowly surrendering that anger to Him and allowing and allowing Him to warm my hardened heart.
Since the Lord has done this and so much more for me so many times in my life, the least I can do, not only that, butit's my obligation to help others who struggle with the same issues I have in life
and come alongside them. Not building myself up and giving myself praise for victories in my life nor tearing them down for them failing at an area of their life, but to build them up and walk
alongside them, letting them know that they are not alone in their struggle. God is a god of grace and He is bigger then our failings.
