Service

"And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men..."

-- Colossians 3:23 (NKJV)

There are these wonderful people who you look up to, who make you want to be a better person, and then there are these other types of people: who are so nasty that they make you want to be prettier than, or smarter than, just so you can be nastier back to them.

It doesn't make sense, but I let them get to me anyway.

As I sat down, eyes brimmed with tears that threatened to spill over -- one question prodded at my heart: "Why does it matter what they say or think? Would you rather serve man, or serve Me?"

I already know the answer. I knew it even before I stumbled.
