“Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash another’s feet.”
— John 13:14 (NIV)
🛁 The Shock of Sacred Service
Let this sink in:
- The Creator of the universe knelt in dirty streets
- The King of Kings touched cracked heels and calloused toes
- The Spotless Lamb embraced grime to show us true love

🙏 Prayer of Humble Surrender
“Jesus, break me:
- Of my comfort addiction that avoids messy service
- Of my status consciousness that resists lowly tasks
- Of my selective love that chooses who’s ‘worthy’
Today I commit to:
- One act of hidden service (no Instagram story!)
- One conversation listening more than speaking
- One prayer blessing that ‘difficult’ person
Kneel with me in spirit as I pray:
“Make my hands Your hands, my heart Your heart.”
Amen.
