Authentic Servant

There is a well known quote about champions that I hear and see often. "A Champion works when no one is watching."

If we think about this phrase it should force us to reflect. What do you do when no one is watching? Who are you when no one is around?

The other person that still works when no one is around is a servant.

It is a challenge to do the right thing when you know you could easily get away with it (no one will know if I. ..) The same goes for being a servant. As a Christian, we are called to serve all the time. Not only when people are around, or people are being nice to us or because we think they deserve our help. We are simply called to serve.

Working hard when no one is around and serving regardless of the circumstances completely destroys the old argument of "but s/he did this to me."

Our students need us to be servants regardless of how they act. It is easy to help the ones who listen and are respectful but there are many others that need our help too.

It is an uphill battle but the reward is great. Be a servant.

Thank you for reading.
