How Well Am I Doing As A Servant?

Self Assessment Time 

I’ve been thinking lately with the Ignite Conference coming up, “Pam, how well does your ledger look as a genuine servant of Jesus your Master?”  

Here’s the 'Top 10' assessments I've asked myself.  Beside each I've secretly marked either “Poor – Average – or Excellent.” 

I daily tear down that inner monument of “I, Me, Myself, and Mine.”

I greet Christ each morning with this question, “How can I serve You today?”

I exercise the art of being a forgiver AND a forgetter.

I pursue peace when I could otherwise pursue division.

I "check in for duty" each morning in a time of listening to my Master.

I rely on God’s power rather than my cleverness and natural talent.

I see the other person as more important than myself.

I understand in serving there’s a cost involved.

I embrace difficulties as divine opportunities.

I invest in my eternal bank account in order to one day hear, “Well done, thy good and faithful servant.”

I never did like taking tests, but they always seemed to serve their purposes in pointing out areas where improvements and celebrations were both welcomed and appropriate.
