John chapter thirteen speaks of Jesus washing the
disciple’s feet. An ultimate example of love and humility. In Guatemala, the
last weekend of training for IGNITE, the girls had a foot washing ceremony. We
got to wash the feet of the person sitting next to us and then switch. Instead
of the person next to me, Kaylee, my teammate comes over and asks to wash my
feet. She kneels down, dips my foot in the warm water and begins washing, all
the while somebody is playing the guitar worshiping in the background. Just
sitting there feeling…I don’t know, loved…Kaylee and I begin to cry. It’s like
all the other girls in the room weren’t there, it was just Jesus, Kaylee, and
myself. When the process was finished, we switched and I washed her feet. A
feeling of lowliness came over me, but a good lowliness, that of a lamb,
submitting to my Lord and becoming humble. It was a beautiful thing that words
cannot describe. It was simply Jesus.
