As Christians we, like Him, are called to serve
Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. (Galatians 6:2)
Upon entering the world, Jesus took on the form of a servant. As Christians we, like Him, are called to serve. Such service is a form of letting our light shine before others, which in turn gives glory to God.
Service can serve a dual goal—helping others and also helping yourself overcome in some aspect of your life which may be limiting your spiritual growth. There are many times when we will serve solely out of our love for the Lord and others.
However, those who are looking to grow spiritually, to train and strengthen themselves, can find service to be a beautiful, though sacrificial, means of doing so.
When we are motivated to serve by gratitude, gladness, humility, and love for God and others, then we will be willing and happy to serve in whatever situation and by whatever means He leads us to.
If we desire to become Christlike, then committing ourselves and learning how to serve others in love and humility as Jesus did, without seeking anything other than glorifying the Father, is a discipline worth practicing. —Peter Amsterdam [1]
Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end. —Scott Adams
