A Servant’s Heart

Duke Rohe  drohe@att.net

A servant’s heart subjects itself to its master.  It is obedient to its authority.  It is comfortable in the role it has chosen.  It yields to the need of another.  It rests in the master’s command.  A servant’s heart finds power in meekness.  It takes a step back to honor with time and works.  A servant’s heart desires the success of another.  It is whole-hearted in its execution.  A servant’s heart surrenders self to serve a greater cause.  A servant’s heart just can’t wait to wait on its master.  It has learned that the first will be last and the last first.

A servant’s heart is one that finds joy in serving.  It finds fun in giving.  A servant’s heart gains from giving while it grows in living.  A servant’s heart seeks to please its master.  A servant’s heart loves authenticity.  It treats others the way it wants to be treated.  A servant’s heart willingly surrenders what is dear to aid in the growth of another.  A servant’s heart starts the day that selfishness ends.  A servant’s heart is developed…not inherited.  It endures difficulty to complete its course.

A servant’s heart affects the hearts around it.  It is joyful when it pleases so it hunts opportunities.  It calculates ways to serve.  A servant’s heart is attentive to its master’s nod.  It is porous to new input and understands the value of authority.  It forever learns how to serve better.  A servant’s heart is beautiful and a mystery to those unwilling to go its way.  For it is counter to human instinct.  A servant’s heart never runs dry or it is serving for the wrong reasons.  It never stops or it was only situational. A servant’s heart is 24-7.

We all serve a master.
