In last week’s sermon, Pastor Skip mentioned a Scottish family motto: Saved to serve. That got me to thinking what’s my motto or my family’s motto? Do I even have one? If so, what would it be?
God not only revealed His heart to us, but He calls on us to be the ones who are to reveal and share God’s heart with others. With Feed Haiti starting this Sunday, we have a tangible way to share God's love to others. We can help to nourish children’s bodies with the food we pack, and God can nourish their souls. When we work hand-in-hand, heart-to-heart with God, great things can be accomplished in this world.
What’s your motto going to be? Here are a few famous people’s mottos:
The high destiny of the individual is to serve rather than to rule... - Albert Einstein
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others. - Mahatma Gandhi
Do right. Do your best. Treat others as you want to be treated. - Lou Holtz
Find a need and fill it. - Ruth Stafford Peale
If you were to ask me, my motto would probably be “Blessed to be a blessing.” We are all called to help each other. When a blessing is showered on me, I in turn need to be a blessing to another person. I like this motto and it kind of reminds me of that movie “Pay It Forward.” If I help three people and then each of those three people help another three people, just think how far and wide “blessings” would go, especially if we ask God to guide us in delivering those blessings.
Here’s a song from Hillsong that reminds us how BLESSED we are as children of God.
Pastor Carol
