Wise Words From Mentors: Find a Heart and Heal It, Find a Need and Fill It

by David Chadwick

How do you start your day?

Do you want to glorify God as you rise each morning so that he can use you in a powerful way?

When you rise, pray this prayer: "Lord, thank you for this day. Use me as your

servant. Show me someone who is hurting. Give me eyes to find a need. Help me to find a heart and heal it. Help me to find a need and fill it.”

Jesus modeled servanthood better than any person to walk the earth. He came to this world to serve, not be served (Mark 10:45). If we follow him, we should do the same.

Every day, we should keep our eyes and ears open to God’s voice, remaining alert so that we can hear his every instruction.

Jesus’s target was those in need. People with wounds, physical, spiritual and emotional. He always went after the ones that others often overlooked, everyone including little children and invalids.

Jesus was precise in his mission. He knew exactly what the Father said and acted swiftly and promptly according to his will (John 14:31).

Please become the hands and feet of Jesus to those around you. No matter where you are, be a servant! It is such a simple message, but profound and can be done anywhere, at any time, on any day.

You will find purpose as you live like Jesus lived! Over time, as you are faithful, you will see more and more why Jesus created you to be one of his representatives on the earth.

Start today. Find a hurt and heal it. Find a need and fill it.

And feel God’s pleasure.
