“but made Himself
nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men”
Philippians 2:7
Jesus made Himself nothing. He became a servant. He who is
God became a man.
This verse is such a challenge to me. Do I make myself
nothing, am I a servant?
I am such a selfish human being, but how I long to be
selfless!
Since being here at Potter’s Field, I have been convicted
about emptying myself and serving others, about considering their interests
higher than my own.
I love serving others, I really do, but I have found myself
becoming so preoccupied with getting homework down, doing my treatments, and
trying to get enough rest that I am sad to say I know I have missed many
opportunities to serve.
Oh Lord, please help me to empty myself. I want to be Your
servant. Please give me strength and show me how to manage everything while
still serving you.
Application: Once again, today I will look for a way I can
serve one of my sisters.
