Big PictureЗразок

Paul’s command in this verse—to serve all people with everything we have—sounds kind of difficult, doesn’t it? 

Sure, it’s easy to give our time, energy, and attention to help those who love us well. What about the people who have hurt us, wronged us, or made our lives more difficult? Well, serving them isn’t as simple. But God calls us to keep our eyes on the bigger picture—to keep our eyes on Him. 

Serving other people (even the people we don’t like!) becomes easier when we make God the center of our focus. Who in your life do you find it most difficult to serve? Choose to serve that person this week, asking God to remind you that you’re serving Him when you serve them.
