♻️ • @cindy_krall Service rooted in anything other than love for another isn't service. It is slavery. God wants more than that for us and more than that for the ones we serve. I'm guessing that many of us could look back and recall a situation in which we were indeed served. I'll also guess that we may be able to remember a time when the person tending to us wasn't a servant but rather a slave. We know that because it was clear by their behavior and attitude. They weren't doing it willingly. We can tell, can't we? This is sobering because it means that people can know that about us! I look back on my children's growing up, and I'm sure there were days they knew their Mama thought she was a slave. Work was done that could have been seen as acts of love. But, instead, it ended up being nothing more than a clanging gong. Thankfully, God grows us. He convicts us. God gives us the heart and the horsepower to change. I know that He's grown me. Occasionally "slave Cindy" makes an appearance, but for the most part, our adult children, their friends, and our extended family see a servant. And in that, there is great joy! We will always elevate our own joy as well as the joy of others when we engage in life as a servant. When we feel like we're beginning to view life through the lens of a slave, humility is our salvation. The lower we go, the more He will fill us. We’re continuing our study on humility. I’ll hope you’ll join me for this week’s post, Going ‘Down’ to Find ‘Up’––– The Amazing Gift of Humility. 💛 #onlyGod #yogafaith #PostureofHumility #humblewarrior (at YOGA FAITH) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj3-8V6vl_F/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
