It is impossible to faithfully serve without loving. When it comes to serving, no one would love to submit to it except by the love of Christ. This is because; service demands that you relinquishing yourself of your ego to be of assistance to someone. In a natural sense, it looks like demotion. That is why only the humble can serve. To therefore be a vessel unto honour, our service unto God must be with love.
The word of God said we need to have fervent love for each other. One version said we should love as though our live depend on it. Another version said our love for others should be intense and unfailing. It is very easy to serve to show. So that people will credit us for doing well, but the Bible encourages us not to do that (Ephesians 6:5-7). Our service should be unto the Lord whenever we are. We may be serving in our house, office, in the community or in the house of God. We should serve sincerely and with love.
Friend, God will not reward eye service or service out of necessity (Matthew 6:1-2). You need to know that your career or business is also service to God. This is because that business should be bringing honour and glory to God (1 Corinthians 10:31). So love people and not just their money. And God will reward you faithfully (Hebrews 11:6). Peace.
PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to always serve with love.
“SERVING IN LOVE MAKES YOU GIVE YOUR BEST AND GET THE BEST FROM GOD”.
