Dear Young Christian: I read a statement this morning that spoke to my own conscience and I will pass it along for your consideration: “True greatness is not attained by giving orders, but by serving.” It brought to mind the verse that says, “By love serve one another” (Galatians 5:13). Human nature is such that we love to be served and pampered. But true, practical Christian living is characterized by serving others. It is not so much a question of what someone can do for me but what can I do for someone else. We have the perfect example of the Lord Jesus who said, “For even the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). As you start out this week, pray about how you can be of service to others. If you are sincere, I know you will have many opportunities to “do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith” (Galatians 6:10). Serving others not only brings joy to the receiver, but also to the servant. Your Christian Friend, Jim Hyland
