Jesus washed Peter’s feet… knowing Peter would deny Him.
Jesus washed the feet of the disciples…knowing they would abandon Him.
Jesus even washed Judas’ feet… knowing Judas would betray Him.
Think about that.
Jesus didn’t wait for people to deserve His service before He served them.
And neither should we.
That’s where following Jesus gets uncomfortable.
It’s easy to serve people who appreciate us.
People who reciprocate.
People who notice.
But Jesus calls us to something better.
We serve because of who He is, not because of what they do.
So maybe you’re waiting for them to apologize first.
Help first.
Call first.
Serve first.
Maybe Jesus would simply say…
Pick up the towel anyway.
