A Servant's Heart

To Serve


A servant's life
is not glamorous
nor a piece of cake.
Serving is giving
from the bottom
of our hearts.
To help
the helpless
and protect
the unprotected.
A son came down
from heaven
to serve
and not
to be served.
Conflict ensued
because why did a king
become a martyr?
Why be a servant
when you could be king?
Why indeed?
Only love
and love alone
could make a king
a servant.
He served
because he
loved us.
He really
loved us so.

Sometimes in life things don't make sense.  If you live a life of ease and leisure you forget what it's like to be human.  All work and no play makes "Jack" a dull boy but all play and no work is worse I think.  Sometimes you have to balance the best in your life by giving back as a servant:  To serve...  Where do you serve?  A child is brought up by his parents and they in turn someday will turn to their child and hope to receive parenting back from them because the circle of life is cyclical.  You end where you began.  And then you have eternity.  What you decide in this life has consequence.  You choose heaven or hell.  No one does it for you.  Only you!  You decide!
