If the dedication to serving Jesus is getting more important than the dedication to the Lord Jesus Himself it is getting dangerous....
Serving always starts from being intemate with the Lord. Our Lord Jesus Says, without Me you can do nothing...
Our Lord Jesus should always be our first dedication.
Having time with Him,hearing from Him and serving from that, in and through the power of the Holy Spirit keeps us on track. His track... and gives us the strength to go on I believe. If we are dedicated to serving only we could easely end up in hard human work which drains us out.
