A servant on the OUTSIDE, a lover on the INSIDE
Tuesday, September 21, 2010
Today, it has been such a long time since I blogged.
But what brought me to this again is a conversation with a dear friend.
We talked about serving, about ministry.
And I was reminded again in this.
Don't be a Martha in PLAIN SERVING but be a Mary in LOVE WITH THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
I was once going all out to serve, for a sake to be seem, to be recognised by people.
When I came to a point when serving became a burden, not a burden of the Lord but a burden that burned me out, I threw in the towel, not once, not twice but thrice.
And the last time, I looked into my heart, asking myself, what's wrong with me? And after searching for an answer, I found myself in the situation of Martha when she questioned the Lord in Luke 10:40:
But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.”
But the Lord answered in Luke 10:41:
And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things.
Sometimes, when we are burned out in serving, one question we got to ask ourselves is... are we worried and troubled about many things?
I tends to have the bad habit of worrying about things and people that I shouldn't be worrying about.
Sometimes, I tends to care too much about the opinion of others to a point where I became insecure.
But... JESUS set me free.
He give me someone who shows me the love of Jesus in a real way, and how I can learn to be a better person who move on not because of position but love.
My leader that God placed above me also taught me so.
Be a servant on the outside by serving the society and the people around you while being a lover on the inside, loving God whole-heartedly and fervently.
Live out the commandments, live out your lives.Labels: Revelation
