“And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.”
Mark 9:35
In other words, don’t think so highly of yourself: My problems are bigger or my situation is more important. When we sit back and take a look at the situations of those around us, our situations don’t seem so bad!
“And above all things have fervent love for one another, for LOVE WILL COVER A MULTITUDE OF SINS.”
1 Peter 4:8 and Proverbs 10:12
Jesus also said:
“This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.”
John 15:12
The idea of loving and serving others is a theme found throughout scripture!
“You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD.”
Leviticus 19:18
Today, let us not look at ourselves or try to be first, but instead let us serve and love those who are around us!
May you have a blessed and joyful day serving and loving others!
Shabbat Shalom!
