The Call to Worship<br />

The scene of the blank-faced children who<br />

l<strong>in</strong>ed up for the gifts made me reevaluate my<br />

own motives. Did I come to the Lord for what He<br />

could give me? Or did I come to Him so I could be<br />

• God's view of the need for service<br />

My heart also goes out to leaders <strong>in</strong> God's<br />

church. I wrote a short chapter for them, just<br />
