Proclaiming Jesus by Serving With Joy
“God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.” — 1 Peter 4:10 (NLT)
My strong belief in serving others is a quality I learned from my mother.
When I was young, I remember a time my mother pulled up to a stoplight as I rode in the car with her, and I watched her give to a person standing beside the road. “This is my good deed for the day,” she said. Her example set an expectation to do good daily.
Pour Out
“As for me, my life has already been poured out as an offering to God. The time of my death is near. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful.” — 2 Timothy 4:6-8 (NLT)
On October 4, 2023, my mom passed away in her Kentucky home after three years of being on dialysis. On the heels of what became her last trip to the Philippines, I cherish the two weeks that I got to spend with her, sharing memories that will always be just for us. In this video devotional, I share the charge I gave in her eulogy based on her life of pouring out for others.
