Servant of Others

Servant of Others

John 13:16

You lovingly washed your disciples’ feet,
Dirty, smelly as they must have been.
And I, who want to be of service
So quickly turn away from the difficult,
Try to ease my way out of anything
That takes too much of my precious time
Or asks more than I am wanting to give.
When will I come to accept the reality
That following your example of service
Requires more than seeking my own comfort?

Today : I act in accordance with the Servant of Others.
