so likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, "we are unprofitable servants. we have done what was our duty to do."
often times I find myself expecting to be thanked after I complete a task, but so does the world (the people of the world) we are told to walk in the world, but not of it! when we do a task, all we're doing is what was told to us! that's it! nothing special! it's not like "wow! check out all I just did for you! what are you going to do to return the favor/thank me?!" we are told here that we need to have the attitude of "I've done what you told me to do and it's nothing more then that" in the book that I'm reading now "10 power principles for christian service" there's a great quote in it that says "the service of God and the service of the least of the brethren were one" that's what we need to realize! we're here to serve and we're not doing it for thanks from this life... we're here to serve for God. main thing... we only did what we were commanded to do, so don't expect any thanks
application
next week I will help others with their chores
