In the past when I’ve seen the word ‘service’, I’ve experienced guilt because I thought I wasn’t doing enough. I could nut measure up to the ‘good’ examples who volunteered for several things. I’m slowly learning that Jesus taught a strong word about being seen by others, only promoting a stellar resume. Jesus taught to do good things in secret, that the Father might recognize our true motivation. I’m learning to not condemn myself for not measuring up to expectations, but rather to lean in on the Spirit to sense His judge for the next risk to take for Him.
“The survey consisted of one question: If you had your life to live all over again, what would you do differently? Three replies emerged as a consensus. One, risk more. Two, reflect more. Three, do more things that live on after you die.” - Mark Batterson, Win the Day
