Relational Devotion #18 [wash some feet]
Hi everyone!
Posting for Mary again today. She seems to be doing quite well. Remember the first days and how our bodies are healing? Let's continue to keep her uplifted in prayer.
Relational Devotion #18 [wash some feet]
John 13:1,4-5,15
"Before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that His hour had come to leave this world and return to His Father. He had loved His disciples during His ministry on earth, and now He loved them to the very end... So He got up from the table, took off His robe, wrapped a towel around His waist, and poured water into a basin. Then He began to wash the disciples' feet, drying them with the towel He had around Him... 'I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you.'"
The Son of God came not as a proud master who demanded service from others but as a humble servant who delighted in helping and serving others. In stooping down to do the most menial job (washing His disciples' feet), Jesus showed them that true leaders serve their followers. To follow Jesus' example and serve others, we start by allowing Him to serve us, by experiencing His cleansing power in our life.
What this has to do with weight loss: As you experience Jesus' cleansing power in your life, you can serve others. You can share your story, listen to others, feel their pain, and stand by them in the tough times of the weight-loss journey. As you support others in the weight-loss process, you will be strengthened to continue on your own journey.
Today, find someone's feet that you can wash. Minister to someone else, bless that person, and you will be blessed as well. Listen to Michael Card singing "The Basin and the Towel."
