Thursday, January 30 – Human 2.0 simply serves

To serve all people, following the example of Jesus…
                                   (Baptismal covenant, part 4 of 5)

So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. ¹⁵ For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you. –John 13:14-15 (NRSV)

“In all this I have given you an example that by such work we must support the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, for he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
                    –Paul speaking to the Ephesians in Acts 20:35 (NRSV)

Simple things…everyday tasks…humble actions…these are the things that Jesus calls us to.  Every once in a while we may be called upon to do something ‘big’ or heroic, but most days it’s the simple things that make up our serving.  They are things that don’t get much notice… except by those for whom they are done, for those who need them. 

“We can do no great things, only small things with great love.”
                                                                               –Mother Theresa

Talk to God about the “small things” that you are called to do.
