Here's Nancy De Masuagamuth on how not to be a servant.

If you're focused on your own problems, your own issues, your own challenges, your own happiness, your

own comfort, your own convenience, you're not going to be looking out for the needs of others.

You're going to be looking out for you.

This is the Revive Our Hearts Podcast with Nancy Damas Walgerman, author of A 30 Day Walk with God in the Psalms.

For May 14, 2024, I'm Danna Gresch. A good server at a restaurant doesn't focus on his own needs. He doesn't come to your table and complain about how hungry he is.

Instead, he makes sure your needs are met.

The same is true for anyone who wants to effectively

serve in any area of life. Here's Nancy to explain in a series called

Developing a Servant's Heart. Several months ago when I knew that I wanted to do

some teaching on Reviver Hearts on the subject of Servant Hood, having a Servant's Heart, and I was just

starting to explore that subject. So we put an announcement out on our website, Reviver Hearts.com, and gave people a chance to write in and let us know who they thought of when they thought of a servant,

who they seen serve others in a Christlike way and how that had blessed them and what

servanthood meant to them.

And it was neat to get some of the responses back and to read some really challenging examples

of Servants and the power of Servanthood, the power of encouragement and grace that we minister to one

another as we serve one another. One lady wrote it and she said my sister has

brought our entire neighborhood together. She loves to bake. She takes

something homemade to someone every day. Most days it's more than one family.

My sister Beverly came to live with us five days after her husband passed away.

So this is a widow who's doing this.

By doing things for others, her sadness has turned to joy.
