I'd like to start with something funny. I heard about this husband and wife. They had been arguing. Now they were giving each other the silent treatment.

The man had to get up early and catch a flight the next day and he needed his wife to wake him up.

Not wanting to break the silence, he left a note on her side of the bed. It said, please wake me up at 5 a.m.

The next morning he got up at 8 o'clock. Missed his flight. He was so upset. He went in to find out why she didn't wake him up.

There was a note on his side of the bed. He opened it, it read, wake up. It's five.

Hold up your Bible. Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.

Today I will be taught the Word of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert. My heart is receptive. I will never be the same.

In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk to you today about serving one another.

Jesus said, if you want to be great in the kingdom, if you want to live a blessed life, it's very simple. You have to serve other people.

He wasn't talking about an event that takes place ever once in a while. He was talking about a lifestyle where you live to help others.

You're always looking for ways to serve. You're helping a friend, volunteering at the hospital, taking care of a relative.

It's not something you force yourself to do. It becomes a part of who you are. You've developed that attitude of serving.

That's when you'll have true happiness, true fulfillment, not living to get, but living to give.

And this is the reason a lot of people are unhappy. They're only focused on themselves.
