make a difference, the focus first must be turned outward instead of inward, giving instead of getting, serving rather than being served. In his letter, the apostle Peter addressed church leaders, a group of people who had given themselves to others. He instructed them to serve enthusiastically and not for monetary gain, providing a model for all to follow. They were simply to follow the example of Jesus, the Servant. We don’t make a lasting impact by what we make. That’s secondary.
