Jesus didn't have a luxurious corner office on Jerusalem's east side with a brass doorplate that said "Messiah." He just ministered as he went along. On his way. As he went out of his way. In all kinds of ways. Instead of guarding his life, Jesus gave it away-and he beckons his followers to do the same. When we surrender ourselves to be used by God, we don't always get to pick the time, the method, or the place of ministry. In fact, sometimes, we may find ourselves doing nothing at all-except praying and waiting for God's leading. When we bring to him our willingness to serve, he'll always, eventually, point us toward something we can do for him. And that task will always have something to do with love.
