This is the
last day. Well, it is actually the first
day of #back2school 2016. Today special
needs kids are being served, and it is the largest number of students we have
served on this day. How exciting. Pray for the students, their families and
those who will serve. Join us in
serving! It is happening all day today.
Reason 5 of 5 for our serving through back2school is
all about serving. Serving changes the
one serving and opens doors to those being served. I believe when we serve others we figure out
who we are and what our purpose is. By
serving we find the ability to do more in life.
Serving is all about God and serving others is part
of how we serve God. Our family’s
devotion reading last night spoke to this.
Read on:
Jesus
tells us in Mark 8:35, “Only those who
throw away their lives for my sake and for the sake of the Good News will ever
know what it means to really live” (TLB). God wired you in a way that you’ll
never be happy unless you’re giving your life away in his work. You were made
for something greater than yourself. The Bible calls this your mission in life.
Significance doesn’t come from status, salary, or sex. It comes from service.
Only by giving your life away can you feel that your life has significance.
Significance
happens, is found, grows in huge ways as we serve others. #back2school gives us the opportunity to
serve with others. #back2school helps us
meet real needs and open people to think about Jesus.
God has given each of you a gift from his great
variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.
Pray for the impact of this weekend’s back2school
outreach!
