SERVING WITH A LOYAL HEART AND WILLING MIND

Dear Diary,

#Serving_With_a_Loyal_Heart_and_Willing_Mind

Have you ever found yourself serving someone, maybe your mother, father, child, sibling, friend, guest, stranger but your heart was not sincere neither was your mind willing, but you served anyway? Imagine you wake up one day and discover that the person who has been serving you in one way or the other didn't have a sincere heart and willing mind while serving you, how'd you feel? 

Dear heart and mind, if your motives for serving are to be refined through fire, do you think your works will survive the test of the fire?

When serving God and His people, in big and small ways, what's the attitude of your heart; how is the state of your mind? What be your motivation? Writing to the Collosae church, Apostle Paul instructs the Christian servants to do whatever they do, with all their heart, as working for the Lord. Be it cooking, cleaning utensils, shoe-shining, mopping etc do it as unto the Lord, not for men. Whether you're serving God or men in big and in small ways, do so with a loyal heart and a willing mind. Serve with sincerity of heart and and reverence for the Lord, Colossians 3:22-24.

There's a reward you'll receive for serving God and his people with a sincere/loyal heart and willing mind, v. 24. Don't complain. Be excellent. Be intentional in your service. The attitude of you heart matters. Don't pretend you enjoy serving when deep inside you're not loyal. If the service isn't from a willing mind, stop! Examine your heart and mind and ask the Holy Spirit to help you.
