Growing up with those “everyone gets punished” moments at school made me big on fairness as a mom, but I’ve realized that sometimes my obsession with keeping things even has slowed down our willingness to simply serve one another. As I look at Jesus’ call to go the extra mile and Paul’s reminder in Philippians 2:4 to look beyond ourselves, I’m learning that quick, quiet service—without expecting anything back—is one of the sweetest ways we can love like Him.
