Your seat of servanthood is your throne of destiny. Jesus said, “If anyone wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all” (Mark 9:35). The Kingdom has a high value for the attributes of servanthood. They feel fully alive when they do practical things for people. Yet some believers are more servant-minded in their natures than others. If this describes you, then you are more likely to find your people in the cornfield than at the ball field, in the workplace than at the bowling alley.Īll believers are royalty and, simultaneously, servants of all. For you, responsibility is job number one! You understand that “love suffers long” (I Corinthians 13:4 NKJV), and you feel fully actualized when you are in the fray, mourning with those who mourn and rejoicing with those who rejoice. Maybe you are driven to step out and meet the needs of the broken and hurting in a community. Do you connect with the humility of the Lamb of God when He proclaimed, “Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all” (Luke 18:17)? Is your heart’s motto, “Why can’t everyone just love one another and get along?” If you are the kind of person who never really grew up but instead grew in-into Jesus, into His nature, into His virtues- then maybe you will find your people among this tribe: the people who have simple, uncomplicated faith. But for some, childlikeness is more than an attribute, it’s a gene that defines them.

It is fair to say that we are all called to be childlike. If these are the kinds of scriptures you dream about, then find people with the same heart and collaborate with them. Here are a few perspectives that may reveal more of who you are and who your people are. Scriptures help define us many of us find ourselves resonating with verses that mold and reveal our attitudes. It’s important to recognize that one leaning is not necessarily better than the other, but you must identify which way you do lean when you are searching for your people. It was a constant point of conflict in our relationships, until I finally decided to move on. Their lack of motivation to transform the world drove me crazy. I wilted in the shade of their isolation-from-society tree. Although I admired them, and many of them are still my friends today, they are not my tribe. We shared a heart for holiness and passion for God, but what they shouted (metaphorically speaking) I whispered, and what I shouted, they whispered. It was an isolationist mindset which, it turned out, was not me. “And do not touch what is unclean And I will welcome you.” (2 Corinthians 6:17) Their motto was, “Come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord.
