I went to Geraldine’s site and got to Pastor Fu
Man’s site and found this entry on his blog. I’ve been thinking about
this on and off and i like what he wrote. There is a sense of freedom
as i read this because at times i struggle with how much time and how
much energy i have or want to give to God as if i have the right to
decide but when i remember that i am a servant, i find my place and i
find freedom.

I don’t struggle anymore coz i lay it down. It’s not about me.

From Pastor Fu Man’s blog:
VOLUNTEER OR SERVANT

A Volunteer determines how much time,
effort and resources to the one who calls. He or she comes from a
position of strength. There is always an uncertainty whether there is
enough manpower to get the work done.

A Servant is obligated to
give all the required time, effort and resources to the one who calls.
He or she comes from a position of sacrifice. There is always certainty
that there is enough manpower to get the work done.

In the
Church of Jesus Christ, there are no volunteers but servants. Look
around, one can see the majority of Christians behaving more like a
volunteer than a servant.
