So many of us think about it the other way around. We think of church in terms of our serving God and receiving from others. But this is backwards. Sacrificial service in the church doesn’t start with serving. It starts with being served by God. Then as we are satisfied in Him and who He’s revealed Himself to be in His crucified Son, we gladly overflow in service of others.

A little girl walked daily to and from school. Though the weather that
morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her daily
trip to school.

As the afternoon progressed, the winds whipped up, along with thunder
and lightning.The mother of the little girl felt concerned that her
daughter would be frightened as she walked home from school, and she
herself feared the electrical storm might harm her child.

Following the roar of thunder, lightning, like a flaming sword would cut
through the sky. Full of concern, the mother quickly got in her car and
drove along the route to her child's school. As she did so, she saw her
little girl walking along, but at each flash of lightning, the child
would stop, look up and smile.

Another and another were to follow quickly, each with the little girl
stopping, looking up and smiling. Finally, the mother called over to her
child and asked, "What are you doing?"

The child answered, "Smiling, God just keeps taking pictures of me."
