“And they were selling
their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any
had need.” Acts 2:45
In this verse I see the giving and generous hearts of the
believers. I see them giving up their possessions and belongings for the sake
of others. Am I willing to give up what’s dear to me for the sake of others? Am
I willing to give up my rights to serve others? Am I really a servant?
I have given my life to Christ, and so I am a bondservant of
Christ. What is a bondservant?
A bondservant is a willing slave – someone who has willingly
given up his rights to serve his master.
Daily I long to give up my rights to serve Jesus, and
serving Jesus means serving others.
Jesus, please give me a servant’s heart. I pray that I
wouldn’t hold onto my rights as though I am my own, but that I’d recognize I am
Yours and thus willingly lay down my rights to serve You.
Application: Today I will pray that the Lord would work in
me a servant’s heart, and that I would willingly serve my team.
