For most of us, serving others is a sign of weaknesses. But we Christian singles are called to a life of service. Jesus gave us the example by washing his disciples' feet. (In those days, washing feet was a nasty job.) But Jesus, the exalted son of God washed his disciples' nasty, smelly feet!!
Who would have thought that being a Christian could be so nasty?
Well, we don't have to LITERALLY wash each others' feet, do we? No, but we should definitely have a spirit of service.
- What's wrong with offering to wash a friend's car while he or she studies for the upcoming exam?
- Wouldn't it be nice to help a friend move into a new house or apartment?
- When was the last time you volunteered to babysit a single mom's children so she could have a few hours to herself?
- Why do we cringe at the thought of fixing a plate of food and bringing it to our romantic partner?
These are examples of how we can serve and help to make other people's lives easier. So Christian singles, today is as good as any day to get out there and serve somebody in the spirit of Godly love. Besides, whatever way you choose to serve others, it can't be as bad as washing somebody's smelly feet!
