Maybe you don't really understand what "servant" means in relation to your spouse.
Let's explore that together on our podcast today.
Be your spouse's servant.
That's Jesus' way.
If we believe what He said, this should not offend us but teach us how to live.
Mark 10:45: "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve..."
Matthew 20:26b-28 "whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve,"
Matthew 23:11-12: "The greatest among you will be your servant."
Luke 22:26: "the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves."
John 13:14-15: "Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you."
Matthew 25:40: "The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'"
Mark 9:35: "Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, 'Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all.'"
Luke 14:11: "For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted."
Matthew 5:16: "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
Luke 6:38: "Give, and it will be given to you... For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
Luke 10:27: "He answered, 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
If we truly believe Jesus, this should not offend us but free us to love and serve extravagantly.
Be your spouse's servant. For great will be your reward.
Love,
Belah

Before Delighted Wife: “Our biggest marital struggle was PRIDE. Pride sent us into a downward spiral early on in our marriage. It went unchecked and only got worse over the years. We were both hopeless and lost.”
After Delighted Wife: “I can finally SEE! God shined a light on my pride the very first week of the program. We had big celebrations nearly every week. I finally see my husband through God's eyes! I have grace for his imperfections and use them as opportunities to honor God by loving him through them with absolute joy.
My husband could see a change pretty instantly. The energy in our home is positive and joyful! We've had celebrations of vulnerability and intimacy I never thought possible and finally share hope that we can actually have the marriage we've always dreamed of. We're all happier, sleeping better, and able to breathe! It's truly a miracle.”
