i don't know what it is.but spending 48 hours straight devoting every ounce of your energy in servitude to someone in need--kind of makes things fall into perspective--what is really important? what am i devoting my time to?
as you make somone food
as you wash their body
change their clothes
give them company
lift when you are exhausted
rise when you need to sleep
simply smile
in spite of fatigue...
you feel a longing to be someone like this all the time
to serve
to devote
to sacrifice your self
you want to be someone who was as the Lord was
He has done all this and infinitely more for every single living person
He continues to do it every day
wash us
feed us
lift us
speak to us
it's a trick to think we can't do the same...that we're just not capable.
it's what we are here for.
there is no other satisfaction
