“We bend. I bend to sweep crumbs and I bend to wipe vomit and I bend to
pick up little ones and wipe away tears... And at the end of these days I
bend next to the bed and I ask only that I could bend more, bend lower.
Because I serve a Savior who came to be a servant. He lived bent low.
And bent down here is where I see His face. He lived, only to die. Could
I? Die to self and just break open for love. This Savior, His one
purpose to spend Himself on behalf of messy us. Will I spend myself on
behalf of those in front of me? And people say, “Don’t you get tired?”
and yes, I do. But I’m face to face with Jesus in the dirt, and the more
I bend the harder and better and fuller this life gets. And sure, we
are tired, but oh we are happy. Because bent down low is where we find
fullness of Joy.”--Katie Davis, mom of 14 girls in Uganda. She blogs at Kisses from Katie, and has written a book of the same title, which I cannot wait to read.
