Week 2: Closer to Others
Day 11 | Serving Others
Scripture
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve...
Mark 10:45
Jesus demonstrated servant-hearted leadership by washing the disciples' feet healing the sick and ultimately laying down His life. Serving others is a tangible and practical way to show God's love and humility. It shifts our focus from ourselves to the needs of those around us breaking the grip of selfishness and pride. When we serve we reflect the heart of Jesus and draw closer to both God and others. Serving isn't about recognition or reward; it's about glorifying God and meeting the needs of others with joy and generosity.
Reflection
Who can you serve today? How can serving others deepen your relationship with God?
Prayer
Father thank You for the example of Jesus who came to serve and not to be served. Teach me to follow His example with a humble and joyful heart. Show me how I can meet the needs of those around me and reflect Your love through my actions. Amen.
