Rather than remain a sealed jar, she sought only to pour herself out to others. Everything she did mirrored her faith. It was as though every waking hour of the day she was devoted to pleasing her God by serving others. This God that she worshiped consumed her. It didn't ask for a brief visit to a temple, or a small votive offering of food or coin, or a few prayers every now and then. This God wanted all of her.
~ Francine Rivers
I would rather lie facedown on the ground and use my body as a bridge, than stand proud and tall and use my body as a wall.
~ Kamand Kojouri
You are serving someone for the rest of your life, not knowing a time must come when you must also be served.
~ Israelmore Ayivor
We need to be the church that serves and loves people now, today, exactly where they are. Until then, we are simply managing decline.
~ Rev. Kellen Roggenbuck
Serve in the grace of strength within thy soul.

Serve, serve.
If you serve the king of kings, the rest will serve you, money, success, prosperity, etc

You have to lift a person up before you can really put them in their place.
~ Criss Jami
Be above it! Make the world serve your purpose, but do not serve it!
~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
In order to know your ministry, you need to start serving and be under the leadership of someone, who already knows his ministry
While you are serving someone else, God is working out your future
34. Sexual contact between a boy and a girl is a progressive thing. In other words, the amount of touching and caressing and kissing that occurs in the early days tends to increase as they become more familiar and at ease with one another. Likewise, the amount of contact necessary to excite one another increases day by day, leading in many cases to an ultimate act of sin and its inevitable consequence. This progression must be consciously resisted by Christian young people who want to serve God and live by His standards. They can resist this trend by placing deliberate controls on the physical aspect of their relationship, right from the first date.
~ James C. Dobson
This is where people misunderstand war. When you attack another country for its resources, you are the pirate. But when you protect your country from the pirates, you are the hero.
~ Suzy Kassem
A true leader is a servant.
To know the good from the bad, study a man or woman's history of actions, not their record of intentions.
To enjoy the beauty of life and the joy of your soul, serve, love, and give the best you can.
~ Debasish Mridha
The most formidable way to lead is to serve. And while the perplexing oxymoron of such a grinding statement absolutely cripples us, it birthed a Savior.
~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
We do not have to believe something is right- to believe a person has a right to choose it. God doesn't force us to serve him. It is a freewill choice we make, so why in the name of all that is holy and right do we think we can force other people to live by our particular brand of religion? We are commanded to Love if we are Christ servers.
~ Linda Wells~Harr
You can lead if you can serve. You can serve when you can love. You can love when you are graced. The truth is that God knows love will be needed in volumes, this is why he made his grace abundant. Leaders are lovers. Misleaders are haters!
You must not wait to be elected into office, before you begin to serve. Begin to serve every where you are; in the home, community, school, university, work, hospital, church, market, society, nation and among many other places.
I wish you much more grace for all your works.
Learn to give for free because this is the best way to serve humanity.
~ Neymat Khan
For some soldiers, there is a greater war going on behind the gun's shadow of family and friends, than in front of the gun pointing at strange enemies.
~ Anthony Liccione
If you are not willing to serve God in the abundance that He has given you, then you will have to serve your enemy in hunger
The best art is not always the most popular art, and the most popular art is never truly the best art. The best art is that which is streamed through God. And the worst art is that which is void of God. The master artist of the universe is the Creator of All Things, and his reflection is in all of us. Only the artist who is aware that he is a reflection of that greatness, and that creativity is supreme love, is a true divine artist. Even if he is not the most popular artist, he will be very popular among the stars of His universe. That is the master artist, one who uses his talents to serve as a vehicle of God. In his work, you hear God's voice and see with His eyes.
Christianity still makes sense because it was Christ who:- Never Judged a person by his/her appearance [Mark 10:46-51]- Never Looked down with disdain on someone just becausethat person does not come to His church [John 4:1-26]- Never kept back his miracle of Healing, just because the persondoes not belonged to His own community [Matthew 15:25-28]- Shared His Love and Grace with both poor [Luke 14:13] and rich equally [Mark 10:21]- Chose to Forgive even those whom 'His chosen ones' looks down with contempt. [Luke 7:36-50]- Proclaim the Truth about Gospel to a lost soul even if there isno one to acknowledge Him publicly [John 3:1-3]- Preferred to keep quiet even if He was 'wrongly accused'. [Matthew 27:12]- Who ranks the Giver on the basis if his/her Intent of givingand not just Extent of giving [Luke 21:1-4]- Chose to empty His pockets and desist resources available to Him,so that He can teach to Serve First [John 13:14] and lead later.- Eagerly listened to the one who came asking for help and delivered them fromtheir issues rather than opening His book of sorrows andissues to make them feel awkward and ignored. [Mark 7:31-37]...Its a shame that it is we Christians, who at times Disappoint our Christ and Dishonor His name by acting just opposite to His nature and character in our lives.World is not disappointed by Christianity, its tired of, us Christians.
~ Santosh Thankachan
In the end, we live to serve the Saviour, who liberates us.
I must serve the Great Master, God.
Leave your mark on the world by leaving behind a child who grows up to love and serve the Lord.

Power without compassion is like a giant that blocks the sunlight.
The more you offer yourself to make life better for someone, the more you empty yourself of the load of destiny you carry into the world. Serve till you empty all.
Your love is as stable as you are: It's not about how good a person makes you feel, but rather what good you can do for them.
The more we serve, the more strength, we receive to keep the good deeds.
It might come a time to not follow your passion, so to speak, although it must be prioritized. It may be the case that your passion will serve as the medic, your peace of mind, alongside a higher calling, with your higher calling being the point man.
Pray for guidance and follow your intuition. Keep looking for your passion and the contribution that you want to make. By doing what you love and finding how to serve, you add a very special joy to life. ~ UNIVERSE LOVES YOU & SO DO I ❤ #StardustAK ❤

Raising your children to love and serve Jesus is fulfilling one of God’s highest callings upon your life.
Can you see the pictures before you on how to intervene on behalf of the oppressed? Are you thinking of what to do to the disenfranchised of your society? Do you notice the abused of your society? Can you see the afflicted that are crying for that justice every day? What of those who are been maltreated on daily basis, do you think they need that justice? Did you see any of those who are downtrodden, would that justice help them? Anyone oppressed and suppressed around you, can you serve them justice?
Be willing to turn your attention to that which serves you.
