Appliances Serve Somebody Else
IllustrationAnalogy★★★★APPLIANCES don’t serve themselves. Toasters don’t eat their
own toast. Refrigerators don’t cool the food that they are
going to eat. Stoves don’t eat the food that they cook. A
microwave doesn’t digest the food that it radiates. Can openers
don’t eat what is in the can they open. Appliances are there to
serve somebody else. We benefit from their calling. God has
assigned you a divine purpose and your fulfillment of that
purpose should result in a benefit to others.
The point
Appliances are designed to serve others, not themselves—God has given each person a purpose whose fulfillment benefits others.
