Servanthood....a quote from Maxie Dunham

"The way most of us serve keeps us in control. 
We choose whom, when, where and how we will serve. 
We stay in charge. 
Jesus is calling for something else.  He is calling us to be servants. 
When we make this choice, we give up the right to be in charge. 
The amazing thing is that when we make this choice we experience great freedom. 
We become available and vulnerable, and we lose our fear of being stepped on, or manipulated, or taken advantage of.  Are not these our basic fears? 
We do not want to be in a position of weakness."
