In order to be a servant, you have to think like one.

Servants think about others more than themselves. If we think about ourselves, the blessings we will gain from serving, or thinking it is a bargaining chip with God, then we aren't serving with the right thoughts.

Servants know they don't own things. Servants realize that everything in this world will go away, and everything came from God. As a result, true servants aren't always trying to get more. They are trying to use what they have for God.

Servants start with Christ. They don't need others to think they are wonderful for serving because they know that Christ loves them. Until you learn that Christ's approval is all you need, you will be held back in serving.

Servants realize that ministry is an opportunity, not an obligation. When we understand ministry, we enjoy serving!

Thinking about my purpose:
Know. To be a servant I must think like a servant.
Remember. “Your attitude should be the same as Christ Jesus." -Philippians 2.5 (NIV)
Think about it. Am I usually more concerned about being served or looking for ways to serve others?
