For the majority of the time in the “Legend of Zelda” series of games, we play from the point of view of Link on his quest to save both Zelda and her entire kingdom… but this Princess is no mere damsel in distress. Zelda shows up many different times throughout the franchise to serve unique and critical purposes (in different forms and even under different names) as she does everything from giving Link guidance, providing him with equipment, and even taking up arms alongside him when the mission calls for it. Zelda may be the one Link was sent to rescue, but in the completion of his service to her we will often find she was saving him at the same time.

In the missions that the Lord calls us to, serving others is the primary objective… and at times, we may feel like we are giving up more than our fair share of our personal dreams and selfish pursuits so that others can achieve theirs. But this perceived inequity is a facade… it is actually through our service to others and placing their needs above our own that our lives find their true meaning and purpose. Rather than seek our own interests, let’s ask the Lord to use us to become the answer to someone else’s prayers today… those who we have been sent to help may be the very ones that He uses to support, guide, and equip us in ways we never would’ve anticipated.

Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. Philippians 2:3-4

Let no one seek his own, but each one the other’s well-being. 1 Corinthians 10:24
