SHOW LOVE

Sirach 7:20-21

Do not mistreat a servant who does his work in truth
Nor a hired worker who devotes himself to you.
Let your soul love an intelligent servant;
Do not deprive him of his freedom.

Personal Challenge

Most of us do not live in a situation where we have servants who are submissive to us, but we do have many situations in our lives where these verses apply. We may be managers where people report to us and that we must lead others to accomplish our work. We may be parents or spouses, which also leads to times when we are in charge of someone else. Whatever the case, we all have opportunities where others count on us to be their leaders. It is our responsibility to them and to our Lord to serve them as leaders in order to demonstrate Christ to them. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
