Serve The Lord Despite All The Pain And Challenges
I served the Lord with great humility and with tears and in the midst of severe testing by the plots of my Jewish opponents. Acts 20: 19, NIV Paul went through so many trials while serving God. It was not a comfortable and easy life for Him. He cried and experienced moments of pain. But despite all these, he stayed faithful to God. With great humility, he continued to serve Him with everything that he had. Sometimes, we have this mindset that whenever we serve the Lord, He will keep us from hardships and challenges. We tend to have this perspective that when a person follows God, he will then…

Romans 12:16, NIV
Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Romans 12:16, NIV Be humble.

Learn to value their existence and never forget that they are also…

Romans 12:9, NIV
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Romans 12: 9, NIV Do not choose to love just because God asks you to do it. Instead, be sincere. Serve other people, especially those who hurt and mistreat you. That’s what separates you from the world. Choose to do good even in moments when you are challenged and in pain. Hate what is evil. Follow God’s commandments, and let His instructions be your guide. Hold on to what is good. The enemy may tempt you to take the shortcut and focus on the temporary pleasures but remind yourself that seeking the Kingdom of God is always…

Look at your surroundings and try to focus on areas where you can help others. Don’t just dwell on your own problems. Sometimes, you will…

Day 391 – Luke 5:18-19
Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus.

Day 331 – Mark 14: 65
Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And the guards took him and beat him. Mark 14: 65, NIV Jesus Christ suffered even though He is perfect and pure. He was beaten without justifiable reason. He endured the pain because He wanted to please God and save us from hell. That’s how great and awesome His love is. Imagine, He offered His life so we can spend eternity with Him. No human being can do it. We even find it difficult to serve others because we tend to expect something in return. But our Savior never leaves us alone.…

We are called to serve others
Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” -Matthew 20: 25-28 Jesus came here on earth to show us what it means to serve. Yes, He is the Son of God, but still, He demonstrated to us how to truly love…
