FOR SERVANTS ONLY #5: Surprise
Sometimes it is good to surprise. Whether in a church ministry or a personal outreach, doing something out of the ordinary can be an effective way of teaching important lessons to those you love and serve.
One day Jesus left his disciples speechless by moving completely outside their comfort zone. It wasn’t anything fancy or expensive, and it didn't take much preparation. He simply saw an everyday task that had not been done and decided to take care of it himself. Finding a nearby basin and towel, he began to wash his disciples’ feet.
Two thousand years later we are still in awe over that little token of love.
We too should apply our imagination in serving others, not to call attention to ourselves, but to fix in their minds a truth worth learning.
(Juan 13)
