Servant

It happens all the time. Someone uses us for their own advantage. We get upset. It’s just not right.

We plot how we can get even. We put them in their place. We feel better for a while. But we are not at peace.

Jesus challenges us to not see it that way and act that way.

It shouldn’t be about who is right. We are here to love and serve. That is the “Jesus way”. God’s goal is for us to serve others, regardless of how they treat us.

“If someone takes unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life.” ~~Jesus Matthew 5:38
