All In

What does it mean to have a servant’s heart, to have the heart of a servant? Could it mean that you are consistently selfless? Could it mean you are self-sacrificing for the good of others like Jesus did? Saying is not the same as doing. A servant does something about His Words and serves others. Growing forward with an active faith, constantly working for God’s good, and putting other’s interest above yourself, you do become a Servant Warrior, someone actively working toward the good of others. Jesus was a Servant Warrior, He fought in prayer, action, and words to add value to other people’s lives. A servant has a true heart, a heart with pure, selfless motives that energize their actions with deeds of goodness, which deny self, elevating the interests of others higher than their self-interests. The ultimate sacrifice of a servant warrior of God is dying to self wants, so others can have value added to their lives. The “me first mentality” is prevalent in our cultures in times such as these. How do we change it up? It begins with us, one person at a time laying down their right to get, right to win, right to have, right to be right and preferring others over ourselves, serving others with a genuine heart motive, where self-gain is crucified and unconditional love is magnified. A servant warrior of God fights to die to self, to serve a power higher than self, to love God first before self and to live for gain not of this world, but for the Kingdom of God.

What holds us back from giving Jesus total access to our lives, surrendering our will and letting Jesus be the ALL of our everything? We want that, but it seems like we keep “self” at the center of our life more that Jesus. Life can be so full of every day distractions where our human condition gets out of whack and we lean out of God’s Sovereign Sway, into the choices that temporarily benefit our flesh. There are so many things in our lives that keep us sidetracked from God, from knowing Him better, being more intimately connected in friendship with God. Distraction is the devil’s playground and we need to guard our hearts from it. Am I letting God be my everything? Am I giving God my all? Where is my focus? Is it on God or is it on me and my life issues? Am I becoming wholly-holy His? If not, I need to figure out what is keeping me from God being my everything and change it up. Life is good when God is the all of our everything and our everything is God. Wholly-Holy-His! Let’s make it so. Dig Deeper: https://thebridegroomscafe.com/wholly-holy-2/
