Desiring to Serve the Lowly and the Needy

Once a man has experienced the mercy of God in his life, he will henceforth aspire to serve. The proud throne of the judge no longer lures him; he wants to be down below with the lowly and the needy, because that is where God found him.
–Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Are you able to remember where God found you? You were a rebellious enemy of His, and yet He still loved you enough to die for you. You were lowly and needy – unable to provide your own salvation, so He did it for you.

He served us.
That knowledge should drive us to want to serve others.
