SERVE OTHERS
Sitting down He called the twelve and said to them “if anyone wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant to all” .Mark 9:35 NASB
Most, if not all of us love to be served. We love to be served breakfast in bed or our favorite meal at supper. We love to have our backs scratched or even a full body massage. We love complements and recognition for a job well done. We love to be loved. I guess these are all selfish desires.
To avoid selfishness, we should follow the Golden Rule. We should do unto others as we would like them to do unto us. Note that the operative word is “DO”. We should do for others without the expectation that we will be rewarded in like manner. We should live and act as servants to each other.
Jesus, our teacher, demonstrated how to be a good servant. Jesus healed the sick, washed the Disciple’s feet, feed thousands, and saved us by His death and resurrection. He taught that it is better to give than to receive. He taught us to love the unlovable, love and serve everyone, and as a first priority to love and serve our creator, our God. Our service to our fellow man is the only way in which we can serve the Lord.
Father, help us to avoid selfishness, the desire to be first. Help us to be servants to all we meet. Help us to act so as to bring glory to You. Amen

One critique, You have one misspelled word. It was in this sentence: "Jesus healed the sick, washed the Disciple’s feet, *feed* (fed) thousands, and saved us by His death and resurrection." Not trying to be picky, but I always appreciate this stuff being pointed out.
Overall, keep writing my friend. I look forward to coming across more of your stuff!
