Living a Servant Life...

Loved these expectations/goals/aspirations of living a servant life.  I'm definitely not even close to meeting or exceeding all of these, but that's what the journey of life is all about.  Every day I can try to do better, be better and hopefully become the best version of myself that I can be...living a servant life.


Paradoxes of a Passionate Servant of Christ
Strong enough to be weak;
Successful enough to fail;
Busy enough to take time;
Wise enough to say, “I don’t know”;
Serious enough to laugh;
Rich enough to be poor;
Right enough to say, “I’m wrong”;
Compassionate enough to discipline;
Conservative enough to give freely;
Mature enough to be childlike;
Righteous enough to be a sinner;
Important enough to be last;
Courageous enough to fear God;
Planned enough to be spontaneous;
Controlled enough to be flexible;
Free enough to endure captivity;
Knowledgeable enough to ask questions;
Loving enough to be angry;
Great enough to be anonymous;
Responsible enough to play;
Assured enough to be rejected;
Stable enough to cry;
Victorious enough to lose;
Industrious enough to relax;
Leading enough to serve.
— Philip C. Brewer
