What Can You Do?Sample

Has someone ever asked you to do something for them and you didn’t want to? Serving others isn’t always easy. Sometimes, serving doesn’t fit into our plans or schedule, or we just don’t feel like it. Sometimes, when people ask if we can do something for them, it seems like they are really asking us to do a lot. 

Jesus calls us to not only serve people but do even more than they ask. He said to give others what they asked from us but to also offer even more. For example, if a friend asks you to help them with their math homework, offer to help with English, too. Or if your mom asks you to set the table, offer to help clean up when you’re all done, too. By serving someone and doing even more than we’re asked, we are choosing to place their needs above our own and we are making them more important than ourselves, even when it isn’t convenient for us. 

Challenge: Today we challenge you to go above and beyond when someone asks you to do something for them. Offer to do extra or ask if there is anything else you can do! Remember: you can show Jesus to others by your actions. Let your actions show His love this week.
