But the one who is greatest among you will be your servant. All who lift themselves up will be brought low. But all who make themselves low will be lifted up. (Matthew 23:11-12 CEB)
As the body of Christ we are meant to serve others. However sometimes the sincerity of our service is contingent on whether we are recognized for our efforts. But our service should mirror the way Christ served. No task was beneath Him , He humbly served others with grace and love. The difference between Christ, and you and I is that He deserves praise. His love, His works in the earth and His sacrifice is second to none. So by His example we should we should serve without anticipation of any fanfare and be secure enough serve others without the possibility of even receiving a thank you. Remember we are living for a audience of one and when you serve Gods people you serve God and He will recognize and reward you. So shift your focus and live a life that reflects Christ's example.
Love,
Love,
