You wanna see a Miracle? Get to work.

From now on I am just going to start sharing sermons or messages from my church and what it means to me. (:
Serving is one of my favorite things to do, but if you've read my other posts you already know that ;)
Now, whether you're a believer or you attend a church or not it doesn't matter there are still opportunities for you to serve. Serve others, your community, family, there are plenty of things you could do.

One of my favorite scriptures is Mark 10:45 "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

That picture always makes me laugh (:
But Even God's own son, Jesus did not come to Earth to be served but to serve. Thats cray. I enjoy serving, I always have, and I always will.
Why does God want us to serve?
1. If we are not serving, we are not growing.
Serving brings us closer to God, and closer to others. It gives us a sense of worth, knowing that we are helping someone, who can't help themselves.
2. Serving does battle against the cancer of selfishness.
Have you ever done something for someone and felt bad about it afterwards? No, because it makes you feel good, being able to help someone out, no matter how small the act is. I have never been a selfish person, and I have always been willing to serve in any way that I can. But I know people who are, and I can tell when I invite them to come with me to Convoy of Hope or somewhere to Volunteer or serve they always feel so good when they're finished and they always want to do it again!
3. Serving is the hinge that opens the heart to worship.
 -If it matters to you, it matters to God.

Here is a little story from John 2:1-10 (The Voice)

"Three days later, they all went to celebrate a wedding feast in Cana of Galilee. Mary, the mother of Jesus, was invited ² together with Him and His disciples. ³ While they were celebrating, the wine ran out; and Jesus’ mother hurried over to her son.

Mary: The host stands on the brink of embarrassment; there are many guests, and there is no more wine.

Jesus: ⁴ Dear woman, is it our problem they miscalculated when buying wine and inviting guests? My time has not arrived.

⁵ But she turned to the servants.

Mary: Do whatever my son tells you.

⁶ In that area were six massive stone water pots that could each hold 20 to 30 gallons.^[a] They were typically used for Jewish purification rites. ⁷ Jesus’ instructions were clear:

Jesus: Fill each water pot with water until it’s ready to spill over the top; ⁸ then fill a cup, and deliver it to the headwaiter.

They did exactly as they were instructed. ⁹ After tasting the water that had become wine, the headwaiter couldn't figure out where such wine came from (even though the servants knew), and he called over the bridegroom in amazement.

Headwaiter: ¹⁰ This wine is delectable. Why would you save the most exquisite fruit of the vine? A host would generally serve the good wine first and, when his inebriated guests don’t notice or care, he would serve the inferior wine. You have held back the best for last.

¹¹ Jesus performed this miracle, the first of His signs, in Cana of Galilee. They did not know how this happened; but when the disciples and the servants witnessed this miracle, their faith blossomed."

God's miracle often comes on the heels of a challenge.

Everyone enjoyed the product, but the servants saw the miracle.
