Day 24: A Servant's Heart

Don't just do what you have to do to get by, but work heartily, as Christ's servants doing what God wants you to do. And work with a smile on your face, always keeping in mind that no matter who happens to be giving the orders, you're really serving God. Ephesians 6:7 (The Message)

Lord, I pray that I may model servanthood to my children--not SLAVEhood--servanthood. I pray that they will learn to serve others joyfully rather than begrudgingly. Give them hearts of servants, who desire to bring You pleasure. May they always know that they don't have to DO a single thing for You to love them--but may they desire to do great things because You love them. Amen.
