DO NOT LET GOOD SERVICE PULL YOUR HEART AWAY FROM JESUS.
Martha was busy serving Jesus, but Mary was sitting at His feet, listening to His words.
There was nothing wrong with Martha serving. The problem was that she became so distracted by the work that she forgot the One she was serving.
Sometimes, we can be so busy doing things for God that we no longer spend time with God.
We serve. We lead. We encourage. We pray for others. We create. We give. We work for His kingdom—but somewhere along the way, our hearts can become tired, frustrated, and distant from the very Jesus we are serving.
Your service is good, but His presence is better.
Don't lose your quiet time with Him because you are busy doing His work.
Don't lose your intimacy with Jesus while trying to serve Jesus.
Like Mary, choose the “good part”—to sit at His feet, listen to His voice, and let your heart be filled by Him first.
Because Jesus doesn't only want your hands to serve Him. He wants your heart to remain close to Him. 🤍
“But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” — Luke 10:42, KJV
