Developing
an Attitude of Service.
The pain I experienced in the early years of my
marriage led me to re-examine the life and teachings of Jesus. With 27
hours of academic studies in the Greek language behind me, I decided to
explore the teachings of Jesus in the original language. What I discovered
could have been discovered in a simple reading of the English text.
His life and teachings focused on sacrificial
service to others. He once said, "I did not come to be ministered to,
but to minister." It is a theme that all truly great men and women of
the past have affirmed. Life's greatest meaning is not found in getting,
but in giving. This profound principle made a significant difference in my
marriage. Developing an attitude of service is not easy but the rewards
are overwhelmingly positive. Few people will run away from someone who is
serving them.
My wife was no exception. When I reached out to
serve her, it wasn't long before she was reaching out to me. Jesus had it
right! Why did it take me so long to learn?
