Servanthood Starts in the Mind by Charles R. Swindoll Romans 12:1–3 Wouldnt you love to live courageously in spite of the odds? Doesnt it sound exciting to be divinely powerful in day-to-day living? Arent you eager to become independently authentic in a day of copycat styles and horrendous peer pressure? Of course! It all begins in the mind. Let me repeat it one more time: thinking right always precedes acting right. I cannot overemphasize the importance of the renewed mind. It is really impossible to grasp the concept of serving others—or to carry it out with joy and without fear—until our minds are freed from the worlds mold and transformed by the Lords power. I feel the need to add a warning to my urging. A warning against anyone who might use others to accomplish his or her purposes. Be very careful not to do that! How easy it is to encourage servanthood so others might serve us. That is not the way our Master walked and neither should we. Servanthood starts in the mind. With a simple prayer of three words: Change me, Lord.
