There is no greater example of loving service than that seen in a mother. It’s remarkable the great sacrifice a mom makes for her children when they’re feeling sick or struggling with something in their life.
The apostle Paul served with this kind of love. In his letter to the Christians in Thessalonica, he wrote, “We were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children… we were well pleased to impart to you… our own lives, because you had become dear to us” (1 Thessalonians 2:7-8).
Is your service energized by love? Do you show love to those you serve? “Love is patient and kind. Love does not become angry easily. Love patiently accepts all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails” (1 Corinthians 13:4-7).
Lord, I thank You for Your constant love for me. The desire of my heart is to pour out the love You have shown me to those I meet today, starting right under my own roof. Amen.

Not long after I accepted a position at the seminary where I received my own training, I attended a conference of professors from around the country. One of the speakers had a Ph.D. in religion and theology. It wasn’t long before it became apparent that, while this person knew a lot about God, he did not have a personal relationship with God through Christ. During a lunch break, I sat with him and initiated a conversation about salvation and the gospel message.
Sometimes the accounts of the faithful in the Bible can feel a bit intimidating. You may wonder if you will ever transform into a man or woman with godly influence. Maybe you feel that way when you read about the woman in Proverbs 31, or when you read about the life of Paul. Paul was Jesus’ “chosen vessel” to spread the Savior’s name “before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel” (Acts 9:15).
