28th I.B.S.

Luke 17:7

- "And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, 'come at once and sit down to eat' ?"

Christ gave His followers a couple of rules. some of which are that Christians are to be servants to everyone, Christian and non-christian just as Christ was. Also that we are to do unto others as they would have us do unto them. This verse reminded me of our hours here during servant time. Not that we were plowing or tending sheep, but that while we were out working, whether it be raking or pulling weeds or painting the walls or whatever, the RAs would come to us and ask if there was anything they could get for us while we do so. While pretty much everytime they asked us if we were fine I said yes, it was still nice to know that they seemed to care about us while we were serving. I have been to a friends house where, if they had someone doing yard work for them at night, they would pay them and then have them stay for dinner. Honestly, in doing so, you open another door to build a relationship with that person and also to tell them about Christ while showing an example of His love.

I need to pray daily that I would keep my eyes open for those opprotunites.
