My heart was blessed the other night as I sat in my hotel room in Milwaukee, WI watching local news. A blizzard was moving through the area and a news team was dispatched to a local Milwaukee neighborhood. Three teenaged boys, home from school for the day, had decided to do something for their neighbors and not themselves.
So, they got up early that morning, donned their winter gear, grab some snow shovels and went from house to house on their block, shoveling the sidewalks and driveways for all of their neighbors. By the time the news team got to the street to see what was going on, these 3 boys had shoveled the entire block! When asked why they chose to do such a selfless act, one boy said, "It's better than sitting inside playing video games and drinking hot chocolate!"
This is a classic case of serving with a purpose. Our Lord commands us to serve others. In fact, he said that those who serve will be considered the greatest in the Kingdom of God. We can impact Charleston with the Gospel of Jesus Christ when our neighbors see us serving with a purpose.
Think to yourself today...how can I serve someone else with a purpose?
4 Him!
