What does John 13:15 mean?

I pray, Lord, that You would instill in me a heart that mirrors Jesus’ heart—a heart that delights in serving others, not for recognition or reward, but out of genuine love and compassion. Help me to embrace humility, not as a sign of weakness, but as a mark of true strength and character, following the footsteps of Christ.

In the day-to-day rush of life, it’s easy to overlook those moments where I can serve, where I can extend a hand in kindness, or offer a word of encouragement. Open my eyes, Lord, to see those opportunities. Soften my heart, that I might serve others with the same love and compassion Jesus showed.

Grant me the wisdom to recognize that in serving others, I am serving You. May this truth transform my actions and my attitudes. Let me not seek to be served but to serve, to give of myself freely, as Jesus did, without expecting anything in return.

Thank You, Father, for the gift of Jesus’ example. May His life continue to guide and inspire me daily. Strengthen me by Your Spirit, that I might live out this calling with joy and perseverance.

In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
