serving in action

I think that a lot of Christians tend to overglamorize certain Christian principles.

Sometimes "bringing someone to Christ" just means being their friend and shutting up.
Sometimes "carrying your Cross daily" means simply not complaining.


For me, "being a servant" meant driving 30 minutes to pick someone up in rush hour and dropping the same person off even it it meant I wouldn't get home until 11:15. No, I wasn't serving the children in India. But I would contend that I just as legitimately put someone else's needs sincerely above my own (even if they didn't necessarily appreciate it).

And in the end I think that's moreso what God is after.
