‘Why I Am Here...’ theprose.com Prompt

I thought I was a servant.

One who responded to any beck and call

Until my character was made real to me,

that I'm not a good one at all

My desire to be kind or good or thoughtful had selfish aims.

Making tallies of all the deeds I've done to make a better name.

Then God began to expose me, revealing all my flaws

Everytime I performed an act of service,

I bumped into a law

My motive for serving was wrong to start

but now through Christ I see

I am here to serve others through Him,

allowing His love to shine through me.
