The pursuit to serve transforms those on its journey. One learns excellence through countless lessons in humility; compassion through each difficult interaction; will to persist in each stormy situation; art in each solution and balance in every answer. A servant is transformed by each moment's joy of work, all the while knowing the outcome cannot be hers to claim and that there will be other endeavors yet.
A servant is not a slave. She is free and relentless in her cause and God-given purpose. With quiet faith overruling the noise of doubt, she persists and inspires. Those who serve who have fallen from exhaustion, she aids. She is clear that serving is no small matter. She is learning.
The pursuit to serve is the pursuit to lead.
