The last thing we struggle with, with serving is: Control
While it’s important to focus on understanding others, we must also be authentic and open so those we are helping can understand us. Being authentic can make us feel vulnerable and transparent. If you’re serious about serving others, you must open up and use your gifts. Let people know who you our and what you believe; and why you have chosen to give up control. The example of the life of Jesus shows us He was transparent and vulnerable and when He was questioned, He let them know who He was and what His mission was. Serving is a part of the mission God has given each of us. Paul summed up best in Galatians 5:13, that we serve God because of the freedom we have been given. '...through love serve one another.' Let love be the center of your mission to serve and watch what God will do. You are Loved!
