Pensamento:
É engraçado que, quando procuramos a felicidade ou alegria ou significado, raramente achamos. Ao contrário, quando nos oferecemos para servir outros e dar de nós mesmos ao Senhor e a sua obra, aí descobrimos o que mais precisamos.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Isn't it sad that when we set off to find happiness, joy, significance, or meaning, we seldom find it the way we hope to find it? Instead, when we offer ourselves to serve others and give ourselves wholeheartedly to the Lord and his work, it is then that we find what we most need and what is most fulfilling. Plus, in doing this service to others, we resemble our Savior (Mark 10:43-45) and are assured that God is honored and will honor us (Philippians 2:6-11), because of how we live.
Oração:
Ó Doador de todo dom bom e perfeito, peço hoje que o Senhor me dê uma chance para servir a Ti e a outros de forma que mostre seu reino e sua glória. Se no processo o Senhor escolhe suprir as minhas necessidades, te agradeço. Oro isso através do seu servo Jesus. Amém.
My Prayer...
O Giver of every good and perfect gift (James 1:17-18), please bless me with opportunities to serve others and honor you in ways that demonstrate your grace and bring the reign of your kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. When, in the process of serving others, you choose to meet the needs of my heart, I thank you for this double opportunity to give grace and receive it. I pray this through your servant Jesus, and to be transformed by the Spirit to be evermore like him. Amen.
