A Servant’s Heart: Serving Others Like Jesus | Girls Gone Bible

It's having a heart that wants to meet the needs of others. And I think we can all grow in this area. All of us. All of us, including us, because the temptation is to be selfish. The temptation is like we are so concerned with what's happening in our own world. And there's a lot all the time. And I have a thousand reasons why I should be focusing on myself. Yeah. but we're called higher.

But I refuse to let them—I'm unwilling to send them away hungry. I think about when we go, like Scripture says, He rewards those who diligently seek Him. He wants to feed us with himself. Like he wants so bad. I just, I love that. That spoke to me. That is just like, he refuses to let people go away hungry. If you go into the secret place and you look at Jesus and you say, I'm hungry, feed me.

I want you. I want more. His heart, it literally says that his heart is that he refuses to let you go away hungry. He wants to feed you. If you want more of him, he wants to give it. I just love that so much. There's this... Ari and I love this. Clearly, we're so fired up because this is, again, we are, GGB is all about rebelling against what the world teaches.

I am so, so sick and tired of this self-serving, self, self, self message of self because it's so detrimental. Everybody's miserable. Everybody's alone. Everybody's isolated. Nobody has true love. Nobody has true relationships. You can't live serving yourself. You drive yourself into the ground. And it's what kind of life is that?

I grew up in a family and an environment where you put yourself out for other people. Sometimes I need boundaries, which is good. But, like, I would rather be like that.

True service is not about recognition or reward. It's about laying your life down for others. It's about mirroring the sacrifice that Jesus made where he didn't do anything for a reward. But scripture is very clear that worthy is the lamb that was slain to receive the reward of his suffering. We asked a pastor recently, everyone has the question, what good is it if you do things God's way?

If you serve other people the way that Jesus serves them, I guarantee you, I promise you that you will receive blessing, honor, favor, all of the things. But that's not why we do it. It's not even to receive anything in return. It is for Jesus. Absolutely. to receive his reward for his suffering. Jesus has the ability to receive the reward of his suffering through our lives.

Because I know that if nobody else existed on the planet except me, it was just my life. Jesus would have still gone to the cross. If it was just me he was dying for, he would have gone and he still would have looked at the cross as the joy that was set before him just for me.
