A few years ago a church youth group traveled to Mexico to experience a little cross cultural ministry. When they arrived at one church, they found the structure burned with only the rock sides remaining. They sat in silence for a while looking out the window of their van when they noticed some faint singing coming from the burned out shell. Inside they found a small group of believers worshipping together.
   After a few moments of staring at each other, the locals asked the visiting students why they were there. After an awkward pause one spoke up, "We came to serve." The pastor and people cried explaining that since their church had burned 6 months earlier they were praying that God would send help to rebuild.
   One of the visitors said smiling, "Hey, we're and answer to prayer!" Are you an answer to prayer? Has God used you to touch anyone's life? Have you chosen to be a blessing to others. In Luke 22:24-27, Jesus exhorted His disciples that to be like Him they needed to choose to be servants. He said, "I am among you as one who serves" (verse 27).
   Think about it. The Creator and Savior is a servant! Yet so often we strive for power and for others to serve us. To be like Jesus means that you chose to serve others.
   Do something today to show the love of Jesus to someone who doesn't understand. You may be the only demonstration of that love they will ever get. You may be the only way they will know that Jesus came to serve.
