Do it to to Him...

Servolution Tulsa once again was busy around town serving in many capacities. Servolution teams from Guts Church were sent out to work on cleaning up more yards, helping a widow move, feeding the homeless, serving lunches to area business owners, and visiting elderly in nursing homes.

One team visited residents in specialized care units of a larger nursing facility. The team members visited with, sang to, and entertained.
But the highlight of the evening was getting to serve them dinner. Team members helped to deliver meals, and assisted residents who had difficulty eating on their own.

Helping those who can't help themselves through simple acts of kindness is what Servolution is all about.
We are acting out one of the greatest commandments "Love thy neighbor as yourself." The "least of His bretheren" are our neighbors or strangers who are unable to help or defend themselves and are in no way able to repay us for anything we have done to show our love to them. Doing it to Him is serving them knowing that the only reward we may receive awaits for us in heaven.
Matthew 25:34-40
Then the King will say to those on His right hand, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in;
I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.'
"Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink?
When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You?
Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?'
And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.'
