Servant of God


Acts 20:24

I consider my life as worth nothing to me,
If only I may finish the race with joyfully;
And completing the task that Jesus gave,
For I am sure and trust my soul to save;
The task of testifying on God's grace,
Knowing some day to see face to face.
Being a servant to the Lord is demanding,
Creating quite a bit of misunderstanding;
For some may see it as being romantic,
Or even as a status symbol and idealistic;
But I say that you must keep yourself clean,
For everything you do will be forever seen;
You shall never have any moment's peace,
As a servant the tasking will never cease;
The servant no longer has a right to choose,
If you decide to quit you will surely loose;
Rest assured that reward is really great,
No need for your future to even speculate;
He gives us all our strength and wisdom,
An inheritance of the Heavenly Kingdom.
