Servant Leadership – Lesson 28 10
Our Identification with Christ by Skip Heitzig
Lord, make us Your courageous friends. How honored we are
that You—though You have every right to just simply treat us as
servants—we are unprofitable servants, Lord, doing what we’ve
been commanded to do. Yet You bring it up to the next level—
the highest level. For You said, “You’re My friends now.” What
an honor that is, Lord. It changes everything. The whole
complexion of our ministry, the way we do things, why we do
things, how we do things. So Lord, I pray that You would help
us prevent pastoral arterial sclerosis, by kindling, and
maintaining, a wonderful, warm friendship with Jesus Christ.
Truly, You are the center of everything—of our ministries, of
our lives. I pray that will never cease. In Jesus’ name, amen.
