May 31, 2023 - Mark‬ ‭10:43-45

“You are to lead by a different model. If you want to be the greatest one, then live as one called to serve others. The path to promotion and prominence comes by having the heart of a bond-slave who serves everyone. For even the Son of Man did not come expecting to be served by everyone, but to serve everyone, and to give his life as the ransom price in exchange for the salvation of many.” Mark 10:43-45 TPT

Lord, we thank you so much for the way you chose to live your life. You came to serve us and give your life for us. You, the perfect and ultimate deity, came to earth to serve us. That is just crazy to say and yet it is true. It’s such a display of love and humility. It is just so beautiful.

Walk with us minute by minute and teach us how to live like you did. Teach us to love like you. Teach us to serve others the way you do. Teach us how to lay down our selfishness and live for others. Teach us how to kill our pride and live out of humility.

Lord, we want the sacrifice you made for humanity to be fully rewarded. We want to see as many people as possible come to salvation. Help us live our lives in a way that glorifies you and your sacrifice, in a way that draws people unto you. Let people see a clear difference in us and in our behavior compared to the world and their behavior. Teach us how to be fishers of men and live like you lived.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve you. Thank you for your love towards us. Thank you that the Holy Spirit walks with us and teaches us. Thank you for all your support in this journey. You are such an amazing God. What an honor to serve you and be loved by you. You call us your sons and daughters. How awesome. Help us love and serve you fully out of this place of awe.

In Jesus name, amen.
