References: Philippians 2:7  but emptied Himself by taking the form of a bondservant and being born in the likeness of men. John 13:4, 5  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, and poured water into a basin.

Acts 6, 7, 8 The Seven deacons chosen; Stephen and Philip Romans 1:1  Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, set apart to proclaim God's Good News, 1 Samuel 16:7  But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” Quotes: • Humility is a key to a servant • It takes a lot of love to serve • The Father sent His son to lay down His life • They don’t have anything really driving them except for their love for the Lord. Take Away: Would you like to take care of the lions, the bears and Goliaths in the lives of those around you? Ask the Father to show you how to love with His love, to be that servant that can give that same love that was given to you for others.
