With a Servant Heart

This is a poem written by Belinda, a member of SOURCE during Lent this year. It is about SOURCE Community from her point of view. 

With a Servant Heart

With a servant listening heart

It’s quite unassuming influence

Reliability of commitment

God’s understated significance

With a servant active heart

Evangelism to encourage

All bound in love and boundless kindness

God’s energizing spirit wrapped in joy and courage

With a servant simplistic heart

Innocence and trust within the eyes

Childlike awe and wonder

Beauty of God’s uplifting soul belies

With a servant sentimental heart

Harmony of conversation

Bringing a smile to every person

Thoughtful and social God’s interaction

With a servant caring heart

Practical sympathy and laughter

Non-judgmental understanding

God’s comfort of being looked after

With a servant holistic heart

Through vulnerability and adversity

Facing life in all honesty

A special kind of God’s spirituality

  

With a servant seeking heart

In that very reaching

To bring a life of meaning

Affirming in God’s teaching

With a servant accepting heart

Positive with ideas and enthusiasm

Questioning life’s calling

Laying at God’s feet all burdens

With a servant demanding heart

Through leading from the center

Such empathy and compassion

Showing how to God's will to surrender

With a servant ministering heart

Pursuance of truth and spontaneity

Nothing impossible, unbelievable, unachievable

Inspiring God’s confidence, love and sensitivity

 We all have a service heart, each valued, setting us apart

Working as one together, supporting encouraging each other

With our differences, perceptions for God’s missional directions
