“Do Small Things With Great Love!” This is the inscription that is located on
the bracelet that Lauren gave me for an early birthday gift. My daughters know me too well and this short
saying goes along with the project that several of us are working on- “Pass On
Joy!”
I ask you, what small thing have you done lately with great
love to pass on joy?
I am always led back to the good old hymn “Trust and
Obey.” This is what God wants us to do,
trust and obey. When we trust in Him and
obey His words we serve others in small ways that bring great joy.
Jesus wasn’t sent to this earth to be served. He was here to serve and that is the one
thing that we need to remember. During
our lives we should strive to be like Jesus.
To be like Jesus we must first love.
That means love those that are unlovable. It means to not be selfish- it isn’t about
you. 1 John 4:8 whoever does not love
does not know God, because God is love.
When we love we have no other choice but to serve. The disciples didn’t wash Jesus’s feet He
washed theirs.
This washing symbolized the love Jesus had for them. For Jesus to perform the lowliest of tasks
showed that he had a servant’s heart. This washing signified that he washes our sins
away. Jesus was also showing them that
they should do as He does. (John 13:15)
Trust and obey Jesus.
Serve others seeking to build each other up. When we act in the way that Jesus acted we
will be truly blessed.
