Slavery as we know it is not a good thing (in case you didn't know). But back in ancient times some cases of slavery weren't that bad. Think about Joseph in the Bible. He was a slave but he lived a comfortable life and had good thing going. There were even times that a slave would volunteer to stay a slave when they could go free (read the Exodus verses)!
I can't imagine wanting to stay a slave to another person, but I totally understand someone wanting to be God's slave. In fact, I want to be God's slave. I willingly give my life to Him. He's the boss in control of me. I can say that so freely because I know how loving, caring, compassionate, and faithful my Master is. I have nothing to fear in letting Him control my life.
- Like the Apostle Paul, do you consider yourself a slave to God?
- What are the good things about being God's slave? Are there any bad things?

That's one of my encouragements. Although it sounds wierd, ever since I was little, there were times where I would pretend I was a maid or servant from long ago, and I'd wash all the dishes by hand, scrub the floors, and all that. I think it's important to be GOd's servant, because people will notice that kind of thing. I don't think I am right now, but I hope to be a servant of God all the time!
