Serve

 Today there was worship at the church where my parents pastor, where I am visiting for a few days, I did not go down and they tell me that someone came up to greet me and when I go to see I meet a sister with two of her daughters, a sister who I believe has been the only person who has made me feel like the smallest man in the world.


Please stay a moment to read the story of how this person made me feel like the smallest man in the world.


Several years ago in the church where my parents pastor, when the parents entered the church and sat down, the servers served them a cup of hot tea. We shepherds' children sat with them but we did not enjoy that benefit because we were simply the children and if they gave us water, they gave it to us in a small plastic cup.


One day that sister arrives and after serving my parents tea in a very beautiful cup, she goes and returns with a cup of tea for me in an equally beautiful cup. And the important question in this as in everything is the context.


Remember that I have already said that I "was" the one despised, the hated one, rendering a service to my era (and perhaps even


es) like tonight you go to the street and bring a hallaca and juice to a street child on the plate and the glass more


nice that you have in your house.


And that is what I want to teach, many love to serve the great, serve a man of God, serve the woman of God but serve an insignificant person? serve the despised? Almost no one does that, and the moment she did that "with the most insignificant of all" marked my life and she will always be honored by me.


It's cool to serve the man of God because if you flatter and pull enough strings on that man of God, you might even get leadership, but serving an insignificant person? What could I give him? The only thing she could gain was for the rest to make fun of her for serving the most insignificant.


And I think that is where everyone fails, in serving primarily and with more love those who know they can benefit and the truth is I have not found any church where that does not happen.


But I know that I know that I know that his pay will come from heaven because he did not set his eyes on serving someone who could bring him benefits. I don't want to brag when I write the following but it reminded me of my birthday that there was no cake for me, some neighbors and my wife gave me some cookies and I went to the city square and shared my cookies with the poorest people I found in Square.


And it is good to remember all this at this Christmas time.


I pray to God for those true Christians that they make many feel as small as that sister made me.


feel that day.


I was thinking a lot about whether to say the name of the sister and I thought that if I sometimes give the names of heretics, why not give


the names of those who do good? Her name is Yazmina and I thank her for giving me this teaching that happened more than seven years ago and I still haven't forgotten.


To make matters worse, he was the only person who came up to greet me today and he has even more weight after my last very controversial publication where I talked about the leadership of my parents' church and that they were demanding that I delete but after speaking with several pastors recognized as Men of God, I told my mother that I would not delete it, so the fact that she decided to come up to greet me is worth 100 times more.


And you, who likes to primarily serve the big ones or the insignificant ones like me?


I want to clarify something outside of this beautiful post; Just because I expose something does not mean that I hate anyone. In the previous publication I clarified that I love the leaders of Anaco and anyone who knows me knows the big problems I have with hypocrisy when I say that I love, I truly love.


The thing is that we confuse what love is. Arriving here I treated a sister who has been in the gospel for more than twenty years and has the same maturity as when she was 5 years old in the gospel. They have not loved her enough to tell her that she is a mediocre person who does not grow.


Obviously they will look for nicer words than these (she's still going to be offended even if they do it with the nicest words because the truth is offensive) but if someone loved her enough she would tell them, because how nice it is to see a sister always growing up. I believe that if I had found her more mature and grown up in her gospel, perhaps she would have kissed her, but nevertheless I was disappointed.


  And don't be fooled, I know I'm not the only one who has noticed it. (The thing is, no one wants to get into trouble and no one wants to be called lack of love like they call me. The apostle Paul once said "...it seems that the more I love you, the less you love me 2 Corinthians 12 :15) Cursed is the love that does not correct, said a man of God long ago.


Oh my loves, how much we need to learn about love. I cannot be a hypocrite, the DNA of Christ in me prevents me from doing so. When I say that I love, I mean that I love, the issue is people's perception of love. My perception is biblical and I have many verses to prove it.


Kisses from the bottom of the heart.
