Possibility Thinking and Service

Possibility thinking has to do with possibilities to serve, to
give, to contribute, to make a difference, to make our world a
better place. Only such an attitude is worthy of our
consideration. To follow Christ means to serve, and Jesus
plainly stated that service is not only a commandment - it is
the only way for us to become great as human beings.
Whoever desires to become great among you shall be your
servant (Mark 10:43).
Jesus Himself was the greatest servant. The Bible shows us in
John 13 how He humbled Himself and washed the feet of the
disciples, giving us one of the best examples of how true
possibility thinkers think and act. Can we learn something from
Him? Certainly! Every time this story comes to my mind, I am

Possibility thinkers serve out of their inner awareness.
Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His
hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God...
(John 13:3), says the Scripture.
Possibility thinkers serve out of their awareness of who they
are.
We are like Jesus. We came from God, and we are going to God,
because we belong to God. We all are sons and daughters of God,
and there are no exceptions. True Christian life starts for us
the moment we come to an understanding of this fact.
Do we realize our position in Gods eyes? What value do we
attach to it? Do we treasure our relationships with the Father
above all else, like Jesus did, or, perhaps, they seem to be a
secondary thing for us? It is easy to know. We just need to ask
ourselves some additional questions: Can we be manipulated by
praise or blame of others? Do we strive for outward acceptance
and recognition? To a degree people allow it to happen in their
life, they lack true realization of who they are. Jesus was able
to say, I do not receive honor from men" (John 5:41) not
because He was haughty, but because He was totally secure in His
union with the Father.
Possibility thinkers serve out of an abundance of their
resources.
Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His
hands... (John 13:3).
You wont be able to give much if you believe that there is a
some kind of void or lack in your life. And the truth is that,
no matter how you feel, or how youve been taught, there is an
SeabuiscutEven though our lives progressively moves forward on occasion it has a way of working what seems to be in a backwards ..... abundance in you and all around you. Abundance! Think about it.
Believe in it. Declare it as often as you can. It is the only
way how you can bring it into visible manifestation.
This life and all that it contains belong to us. All things are
ours - to appreciate and to use for our good, and for the good
of others.
All things are yours: whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the
world or life or death, or things present or things to come -
all are yours (1 Corinthians 3:21-22).
This is not a beautiful metaphor, and not even a promise. This
is a fact, and our inner eyes need to be open to see it. All
manifestations of lack are abnormal, and their root is a wrong
perception.
Possibility thinkers serve out of awareness that their hour had

Jesus knew that His hour had come (John 13:1).
My food is to do the will of Him who sent me and to finish His
work. Do you not say, there are still four months and then comes
the harvest? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at
the fields, for they are already white for harvest! (John
4:34-35)
Possibility thinkers know that there is no need to wait for
anything. All the resources are given to them here and now. All
the opportunities are presented to them here and now. The call
of God within their hearts prompts them to act here and now,
dedicating themselves to the reasonable service and to using of
their gifts. To a degree they are obedient to this call, they
become great.
Affirm:
My service is an act of self-realization, based on my
self-awareness.
My service is an expression of my divine nature, the Christ
within me.
My service is a free gift to the world, not an obligation.
My service is a seed of my fulfillment.
My service makes me truly great.
