The Random nature of the World Race never ceases to amaze me. I woke up this morning in the church we’re staying at for the next 10 days, went for a run, showered and went down for breakfast, it wasn’t two hours later that I found myself on top of a mountain, painting a tree outside a home for mentally handicapped women.
Mark 10, verse 45, “For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve…”
I would find it safe to say that each one of my team members has skills that reach far beyond picking up a pine cone, but I think it’s more safe to say that Jesus has more far-reaching skills than what is limited to Him in the form of a human. He willingly gave up the right to His throne in Heaven while he came to us on earth to save us.
As frustrated as I’ve been with not being able to see massive impact from my presence in these countries, today’s work awoke me to a piece of the reality that is key to my time here. We each sacrificed even being able to use our skills to their full capacity by becoming a servant to those we are coming to save. Just as God came to earth to save us by becoming like us in human form, we are coming to the world in limited form so that we can relate to those we are trying to save.
