Luke 17:7-10
7 And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, “Come at once and sit down to eat’? 8 But will he not rather say to him, “Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink’? 9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not. 10 So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.’ ”
Do we expect as servants of Christ to be given everything as if we are the master? Or do we serve as Jesus did, not expecting thanks but doing what we know we must simply do? We are called to serve, not be served. So how can we complain if we do not have others do what we want and get all we ask of God without this humility of giving?
