A Servant's Loving Heart

A servant quietly moves in love,
Not believing himself above
The needs of some poor, hurting soul.
Meeting a need is a servant's goal.

A servant's eye is quick to see
Where he might serve or helpful be.
He does His work with loving hand,
For he just seems to understand.

Because he sees through Jesus' eyes,
He will quickly recognize
The blessing he may be to one
And the good that can be done.

So with joy he goes about,
Serving others and reaching out.
He doesn't boast or seek acclaim,
But quietly serves in Jesus' Name.

"Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others."
Philippians 2:3-4 KJV
