A Servant of God, His Majesty
ChildrenIf you will serve them, you’ll also be serving Me.
When my children were teenagers, my family complained about my resistance and lack of enthusiasm about serving them. I had a serious talk with the Lord about what He expected. My women friends defended me, but I needed to know the truth about my heart attitude. What did God see?
I spent a day with a concordance, and my Bible, asking God to show me His thoughts on serving others. His word to me became very clear, and not wanting to ever forget what I read, I set the Scripture messages to music – that being the best memory tool for me. This is what I intended to think of every day.
I love Thee, Master, and all Thy children
because they belong to Thee.
Why should I not want to serve them,
when You have done so much for me.
Freedom from the yoke of servanthood
means only that I’d then serve me!
Why serve myself when I instead can be,
the Servant of God, His Majesty!
I hear You whisper, If you will serve them
you’ll also be serving Me.
I’ll lift your burden, take all your anger,
for My yoke is light and easy.
My Lord, my Master, this trust sets me free -
free to give my heart willingly.
Help me remember this, my vow to be -
the Servant of God, His Majesty!
