       I really believe that Jesus enjoyed his time here on the earth, and God’s call on his life. I believe it came from his heart. He did what he did in serving us, and serving the people then, from his heart. Undoubtedly he liked to teach, he liked to come up with his sermons and his parables, he liked to go from place to place and share the Good News. He wanted to do the things he was doing, and be pleasing to God. And it is the same way with us. God gifts us to serve him in such a way that we will enjoy and want to do whatever it is that we are called to do for him. If we don’t have that drive from the heart, if our work is not coming from an inner-heart desire to do it, then I think it’s safe to say that God hasn’t called us to do it. But God places desires in our hearts to want to do things for him. So, Jesus says that the one who is a servant is the one who is a slave. Now, obviously, a slave virtually had no say in what he was doing when he was working. He did whatever his master told him to do. That’s the true attitude of a servant.
