Living in Service
Is it I am here for you? Or you are here for me? Or we are here for them? Or they are here for us?
The answer, as the Lord is always here for us, in the same way we are here for Him and each other.
Our very existence is to serve God and to serve each other. To love God, to love yourself and to love your neighbor (who are everyone you encounter).
It is so beautiful just to think on this throughout your day. As you are with family, and coworkers, clients, everyone you pass and meet, whether in a store or office think of your 'service'. And in the serving them, you are spreading His love to them.
1 Thessalonians 2:11 You experienced it all firsthand. With each of you we were like a father with his child, 12 holding your hand, whispering encouragement, showing you step-by-step how to live well before God, who called us into his own kingdom, into this delightful life. __ The Message

My husband found this song. It brings back memories. But it also reminds me who I am. This is exactly where I want to be in the presence of God, in serving Him and other children (both adults and young). To have the mind of Christ and a heart of a child. This is where my eyes are open and love pours out.
Listen carefully..
