I was reading one of my favorite blogs this morning Kisses from Katie and I couldn't just read it and not share. Katie lives a life of service to orphans and families in Africa. What a blessing to read her encouraging words from someone who lives with only people blessing her life while we turn to possessions, money, and things. Here is a little part of the amazing things she has made me realize and think upon.
"Because I serve a Savior who came to be a servant. He lived bent low. And bent down here is where I see His face.
He lived, only to die.
Could I?
Die to self and just break open for love.
This Savior, His one purpose to spend Himself on behalf of messy us. Will I spend myself on behalf of those in front of me?
And people say, "Don't you get tired?" and yes I do. But I'm face to face with Jesus in the dirt, and the more I bend the harder sand better and fuller this life gets. And sure, we are tired, but oh we are happy. Because bent down low is where we find fullness of Joy.
Praying for you as you bend today for whoever is in front of you. He will meet you there."
Thank you Katie and let's bend low today.
