“Service is a command from God.” – Father Gerry
This weekend, I was able to partake in a blessed and spirit filled Regional Servants of The Lord conference here in Winnipeg Manitoba. I was given the opportunity to serve and lead the Program committee and Boy I was scared. I didnt know what to expect because I have always been asked to help but never to LEAD.
Now just to back track a little, it was God who called me into the Catholic Faith, it was God who brought me into this community, it was God who lead me into the MV program and it was God who called me to FTP work. Therefore, it was The Lord who called me to serve in this SOLD conference, lead the program committee and go out of my comfort zone to grow.
Service is a command from God. Jesus was called to serve, not to be served. Service requires sacrifice. To Love requires sacrifice and to serve others and the Lord is to love others and love the Lord. However you do it, know that it goes back to Gods command to all of us, and that is to serve and to Love.
One last thing, there was a SOLD delegate who was 84 yrs old! And man, it was such an inspiration to see him Worship with hands up high in full surrender. He also participated in the skills competition which required running, dribbling and shoot a basketball. I hope one day I get to be in His shoes still worshipping and serving the Lord.
