apply it! take some time to carefully consider honestly and prayerfully where your soul / heart is in relationship to Jesus.

what is a hero?
Arthur Ashe, born 07.10.43 broke the racial barrier in the sport of tennis. He was ranked #1 player in the world in 1975 and then became a spokes person for AIDS awareness after contracting the disease through a blood transfusion. "True heroism is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost."

As I read this, I was struck! Some times I serve my family, my team mates here at WCC and think: Man, did that even matter to them? Do they even care that I gave up my time? stayed up late? got on my hands and knees to serve them? do I even get any credit for thinking of others first?

Serving is not a natural thing for some people. In my case, I'm good with it! My parents both went through very tragic illnesses and needed care that was selfless and sacrificial. I'm good with that, too. Where the struggle comes is when I have served, served, given, and given some more...am I willing to continue to do so without any accolades? God's grace should be sufficient! Is it?? absolutely!
