John 13:5-10
After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
He came to Simon Peter, who said to him,"Lord, are you going to wash my feet?' Jesus replied,"You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.'"
"No," said Peter, "you shall never wash my feet."
Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no part with me."
"Then,Lord," Simon Peter replied,"not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!"
Jesus answered, "A person who has had a bath needs only to wash his feet; his whole body is clean..."

Jesus had such a fine tuned way about serving others and also allowing others to lavish their love on him. It wasn't ALL service or people basking in his presence 24/7. When is the right time to serve and the right time to be served? Jesus knew when to heal the sick, but he also knew when to recline and let a women adore him by washing his feet with her hair. I desperately desire to know the balance between both. Do they coincide? In the body of Christ I tend to see either lethargic Christians(fat and over stimulated by information) or burnt out (serve aholic) believers. How can we enjoy life, serve others and allow others to bless us? Are issue then is with love if we can dish it out, but we can not receive it. We are saying you so deserve Christs love, but I deserve the scraps from his table. There's is a time and season for all things. A time to love and a time to be loved!
