                    THE BAMBOO SERVANT
Once upon a time, in the heart of an ancient Kingdom, there was a beautiful garden. And there, in the cool of the day, the Master of the garden would walk. Of all the plants of the garden, the most beautiful and beloved was a gracious and noble bamboo.

                    Attributes of a Servant…
1. Humility
In the summer of 1986, two ships collided in the Black Sea off the coast of Russia. Hundreds of passengers died as they were hurled into the icy waters below. News of the disaster was further darkened when an investigation revealed the cause of the accident. It

                    Illustration- Servant’s Heart
A minister shared how in his church they were in desperate need of a person to teach a junior high boys class.

Imagine at Mt. Sinai with all the lightning, thunder, smoke and the threat of death to any person or animal that even came close to the mountain, and how the people shuddered with fear as God was soon to speak His commandments. How would it have been if, after God had spoken

                    THE SERVANT AND THE CHILD
Think about the differences between a servant and a child:
The servant is accepted and appreciated on the basis of what he does, the child on the basis of who he is. 
The servant starts the day anxious and worried, wondering if his work will really please his master.
