You will hear over the next couple of days about my time in Haiti and what God revealed in my life.
These two little girls in the picture ended up sitting behind me in the four hour Sunday church service.
It was hot, and the church was stuffed full of people. There was no air flow, and their was no personal space.
After quite some time of sweating and wiggling around on the church pew the little girl behind me began blowing on the back of my neck.
At first, I was confused as to what she was doing. Then I realized, she saw how uncomfortably hot I was, and she was trying to keep me cool.
As I sat there with a six year old cooling me down, my eyes began to well up with tears, and my heart began to fill with conviction.
The little girl on the right, will be with me for a lifetime because she taught me a deeper understanding of who Jesus was, who He is, and who I want to be.
Sometimes I am so selfish that I only think of my needs. I don’t notice the people around me that I could be serving.
Oh, to have a heart like this little girl. Oh, to have a heart like Jesus.
When was the last time you sacrificed your comfort to make someone else comfortable?
Prayer: “God, thank you for this selfless girl and what she has revealed to me about being a servant. Help me to serve others before I ever serve myself. Empty me. Amen.”
