Do you have a servant's heart?

Today, in the shepherd's coordination, we read a chapter on the above by Rick Warren.

We all desire to serve God but sometimes we are not able to serve properly because we do not have a servant's heart.

Rick Warren gives us a checklist to see whether are we a real servant:-
1) Real servants make themselves available
2) Real servants pay attention to needs
3) Real servants do their best with what they have
4) Real servants do everything with equal dedication
5) Real servants are faithful to their ministries
6) Real servants maintain a low profile

My reflections:
1) Many a time, I serve at my own convenience. Sometimes, I fill up my time with other pursuits that it limit my availability? A real servant is ready to jump into service when called upon.

2) God wants me to grow in servanthood and He may present opportunites to me for instance someone crying for helps. Opportunity comes and goes and if I do not seize it quick, I will lose it.

3) God expects me to do what I can, what I have and whereever I am. Less-than- perfect service is always better with the best intention. I can learn as I do. God sees our heart, He is concerned with building our godly character.

4) Do all tasks (whether big or small) with all my heart even a simple task. Many a time, it is in the small service that I grow like Christ (character building).

5) Sometimes I quit when I am discouraged. God wants my faithfulness. Matthew 25:23"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'

6) Do my service quietly, obtaining approval from God alone. Matthew 6:1"Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
