John 13: 4-6
"so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. 5 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him. "
There are all kinds of towels.
Some are meant for decoration. ( That does not work in my house)
Some have sentimental value in our lives. Some have a special purpose or are better for a particular need.
But a towel always symbolizes a need being met or a service being rendered. Jesus knew what a towel did for others and how he needed to serve.The savior of the world proved himself to be the greatest servant of all times.
A towel is nothing new to us. It wipes sweet off our faces. It dries our hands. It cleans things up. A towel is used to serve. Left by itself, a towel is of no use.
Pick it up, let it do what it was created to do.
Jesus possess a security that allows Him to serve others.
The insecure are into TITLES and the secure into TOWELS. Jesus' security enabled Him to both stoop and stretch.
Jesus put others ahead of His agenda.
How can we walk through the business of today and recognize a need and take the initiative or even risk to perform a small act of love?
Where can you be a towel today? Ask God to show you an opportunity?
Blessings,
