Servanthood

I am reminded of Jesus who extolled the Roman centurion and said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.” (Luke 7:9) In all my years of living and it’s alot, never have I found such a servant heart as I did, in being welcomed to their hotel. From the opening of doors, carrying bags, and welcoming cocktail, you might say, I have received that at five star hotels, but she actually sat down with us, asked us about our stay and then proceeded to help us take in some sights, and even suggested on her own, that she would print out our boarding passes for us. She walked with us to the room and explained all the amenities and switches as if I was the king. I wondered, why such favor was being given to us? What was God trying to show us? …perhaps that Christians themselves could still learn the joy of servanthood? …perhaps like the good samaritan, it doesn’t take a Christian to have a heart of compassion? …perhaps like the Roman centurion, the stereotypical religiously devout do not have the corner on the market of faith?
