[No. 4] Love Is Letting People Serve You

[No. 4] Love Is Letting People Serve You

What is love? Love is letting people serve you.

One of my friends told always says,

“if you can do it yourself, do it.”

But what I’ve learned is that sometimes even if I can accomplish a task myself,

when I let somebody else do it for me, they feel loved.

You are not any weaker because you accept help.

I learned this with my husband.

He feels great joy when I put my pride aside and let him help me and vice versa.

The same goes with friends & family.

Let’s outdo one another in honor & humble service.

After all, it’s one of the greatest forms of love.

Cheers,

Love IsWhat is love

Hey — I wrote a book about all of this.

Living Open-Handed is the devotional I wrote during a season when I really needed to hear these words myself. If you're in a place where you need to be encouraged by scripture and softened by grace, it might be for you too.
