There are so many times where I don't want to serve, but I want to be served. People will call and ask for help, and I just don't want to answer my phone. I will walk by someone who is homeless and not stop and ask their name. I will see others hurting themselves, and turn my head. Society today continually feeds our appetite for self-satisfaction and indulgent towards our own needs, while being indifferent towards the needs of others. Today, we know little of true self-sacrifice and self-denial. An early TV host, Jack Parr, made this insightful observation about life, "As I look back on my life, I see it as one long obstacle course with myself as the main obstacle." We live in the context of selfishness and our society frowns upon being a servant. Some associate servant-hood with weakness. If you want to be great in the world, you mush push and shove your way to the top; you must think about your needs only. Only when the central problem of self-centeredness is faced can we begin to really learn to serve others.

Nathan Schaeffer noted, "As the close of life, the question will not be how much have you got, but how much have you given. Not how much you won, but how much have you done. Not how much you saved, but how much have you scarified. Not how much were you honored, but how much have you served." Albert Einstein once said, "It is high time we change the ideal of success for the ideal of service."

Serving is a choice that I choose to make. I understand why people say "get out of yourself and call someone" because when I reach out to someone else in need, it takes the focus off my own luxury issues.  For me it is easier to sit and wallow in my own stuff, and complain of the state of affairs or how life is not fair; than reach out to someone else. That sometimes is the hard thing to do. There is a saying that says the phone weighs 800 pounds and I have experience that.

Today I want to choose to open my heart and eyes to the needs of others. To choose to think about others rather than focusing on self.  To choose to demonstrate my faith in practical actions, and to  love my neighbors. I hope you choose to make this commitment as well.
