C.S. Lewis once said that as Christians we are not called to think less of ourselves but to think of ourselves less.
Christ speaks similarly in Matthew 20. When we prioritize other people above ourselves it can help us to get out of the quicksand of our own self pity and help us to realize that we are not alone in our suffering. Also, as we try to lift up others by applying God’s promises to their lives, we often find ourselves being sustained.
Therefore, when we purposefully serve, we talk about it being a greater ministry to us than to those that we served.
