Since prayer is at the bottom of all this, what I want mostly is for men to pray—not shaking angry fists at enemies but raising holy hands to God. And I want women to get in there with the men in humility before God, not primping before a mirror or chasing the latest fashions but doing something beautiful for God and becoming beautiful doing it.
1 Timothy 2:10 The Message
My husband is one of those people who doesn’t hesitate to help when he sees a need.
I’ve watched him wash dishes after church potlucks, don a hazmat suit to scrape off a popcorn ceiling, study for hours just to help our kids with their homework… He even said yes to serving on the HOA board!
Now, I admit I found him attractive before I recognized his servant heart, but seeing him put love into action time and time again confirms that this man I married is one truly beautiful human.
Who do you know, whose heart for serving others makes them shine? Have you thanked them lately? Can you do that today?
Servant Song
I thank You, Lord, for giving me
A heart and eyes with which to see
The people who are suffering around me
I offer up my feet, my hands
Use my life, Lord, if You can
Be visible, be evident in me
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Put Your smile on my face
Fill my eyes with Your tears
And my arms with Your embrace
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
With Your words in my mouth
I will serve You for all of my days
I thank You, Lord, for showing me
The life to which You’re calling me
Unfolding like a mystery each day
Direction in Your Word I find
Strengthening my soul, my mind
I hear Your Spirit whisper in my ear
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Put Your smile on my face
Fill my eyes with Your tears
And my arms with Your embrace
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
With Your words in my mouth
I will serve You for all of my days
Jesus, I will serve You for all of my days

To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see. Hebrews 11:1, Good News Translation Hebrews is considered the ultimate book on faith, but in Hebrews 11:1 it is evident that hope is needed before faith can exist. Every day my mailbox contains […]
Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him! Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you’re on their side, working with them and not against them. Help them see that the Master is about to arrive. He could show up any minute! Philippians 4:4-5, The Message When […]
Listen, the eye of the Eternal is upon those who live in awe of Him, those who hope in His steadfast love, that He may save them from the darkness of the grave and be kept alive during the lean seasons. We live with hope in the Eternal. We wait for Him, for He is our Divine Help and Impenetrable Shield. […]
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4, New International Version In September of 2016, I said goodbye to my best friend and husband of nearly 25 years. At that moment I lost the best part of my life and started a very lonely and heartbroken journey, trying to figure out […]
But now, Leah and Rachel and Jacob, hear the word of YHWH – the One who created you, the One who fashioned you, Israel: Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the seas, I will be with you; When you […]
We know that everything God made has been waiting until now in pain, like a woman ready to give birth. Not only the world, but we also have been waiting with pain inside us. We have the Spirit as the first part of God’s promise. So we are waiting for God to finish making us his […]
Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves […]
We have been made right with God because of our faith. Now we have peace with him because of our Lord Jesus Christ. Through faith in Jesus we have received God’s grace. In that grace we stand. We are full of joy because we expect to share in God’s glory. And that’s not all. We are full […]
