Do for others. Be willing to serve. Not just because you will receive good in return, but because you love them and you want them to feel God's love through you. Showing others kindness and love is not always easy. Not everyone will be willing to reciprocate. That is why it is important that we serve not for the approval of others but for the glory of the father. People need to see we are different, they need to see God's love even when they know nothing about it. Even if we don't always see it our commitment is rewarded, either it is immediately or in heaven. Our work here on earth is not meaningless. Just living eternity in heaven with the Father is reward enough.
Prayer:
We love you Lord. We thank you for your goodness and mercy. Give us a desire to serve. Fill us with Joy and fulfillment when taking care of others. Help us to be selfless as you are selfless. Help us to be more like you, in Jesus name we pray Amen.
Scripture:
Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.
Proverbs 11:25 ESV
