Servanthood

I lead worship in our church usually once a month, and this coming service I am leading we will be talking about Servant hood.I have searched high and low for just the right material for this service.I have come across a few things that have struck me profoundly.The thought that keeps coming back to me is this: I cannot serve knowingly as a Christian with just a head thing.I cannot serve knowingly as a Christian only when I want to or when I feel like it.I cannot just pick whomever I want to serve, because it benefits me in some way.I think as Christians we have served many times over just in this very way.Don’t get me wrong it looks good, people and other Christians might be moved or affected by my service.But what keeps aching in me is to serve in order for the glory of God to be seen.How do I serve so only the glory of God can be seen?
