How do you react when God asks you to do something "beneath" you? Do you ignore His voice, hoping He’ll find someone else to complete the job? How often do you sacrifice yourself to help others? Serving others is not a cushy job; it often requires that you stoop at least a little. But to be a servant of God, you must surrender your pride and not hesitate to roll up your sleeves and get to work.

Matthew 20:28 tells us that Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve. And if we are to be like Jesus, we must also serve others. But servanthood is not a position you can step into and out of when you feel like it; it is a lifestyle. Make it your lifestyle. God doesn’t need big people to do big things; He can use you right where you are. A little action in your tiny space of the world can lead to amazing things.

Author Information: Shannon Kubiak Primicerio is a graduate of Biola University, where she received a B.A. in Journalism and a minor in Biblical Studies. A passionate writer and speaker for Christ, Shannon speaks at youth events across the country. She and her husband, Michael, live in Temecula, California.

Reviews: "Being a Girl Who Serves is book two in the BEING A GIRL Series by Shannon Kubiak Primicerio. Teenage girls are encouraged to look past their own needs and wants and use their time and talents to help others. Ms. Primicerio explains to young girls how they can be used of God to be servants for Him, and that it doesn't matter who you are or where you're from, anyone can be used to help others. In order to be more like the shining example of Jesus, who came to serve man, we must humble ourselves and serve others also.

Being a young woman in her early twenties herself, Shannon Kubiak Primicerio easily identifies with the young teen girls for whom she writes this book. Written in language on their level, these girls will read of simple ways to help others and not feel as if they are being preached at. In a world where many think of themselves first, this book instead encourages teen girls to think of others first, much like Jesus did. I highly recommend this book to parents of teen girls, and for Bible study groups and youth groups alike." --Sherri Myers, Christian Library Journal
