Wed-Day 3, Walk w/Christ: Day of Service


Read Joshua 22:5, 24:15; Galatians 5:13-14 & Mosiah 2:17, 18:10

Jesus was of service all of His life. Everything He did & said was serving us. He brought strength to the cripple, sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, life to the dead and accepted all sinners. He encouraged all of us to improve ourselves and strive for perfection.

Every time you feel the penny, strive to look for the chance to be His Hands! Offer to help someone, write a note of love, give 10 compliments, smile to a grumpy person or help a senior citizen—-Look for the chance to serve.

There’s a story of a village that was nearly destroyed during World War II. All the villagers joined together to rebuild it from the bottom up. Numerous pieces of white marble were found from the remains of a statue that stood in the town square. A sculptor was hired to rebuild it. To commemorate the completion of restoring the town, a celebration was held including the unveiling of the statue. It was a figure of Christ by Thorvaldsen with hands outstretched to all, except the statue had no hands. They had been destroyed by a bomb. The inscription instead of reading as it once did, “Come unto Christ,” now read, "I have no hands but yours.”

Journaling: What would I do if Jesus were at my side? Am I a true disciple of Christ? What would He have ME do?
