Serving God?

Feb 192008

How often have we heard the phrase "in the service of God"?

This morning, it occured to me that such a service is no easy thing, nor is it something we can just claim and add to the fulfillment of our egos.

Serving God. What service can we offer to a God who possesses everything and who has within His power all that He could ever desire? What service does He need from us who at most, could only render a sincere yet imperfect work?

Service is an act of love and an act of gratitude. If we should ever perform it, it is nothing that we should hold Gold in owe to us, but something we ought to be happy for, for God has allowed us to render it and make our joy complete! :-)

Agnes { Dear Joyce, Hi! I have been an avid reader of your blog about a year an a half ago when I too have been experiencing heartbreak and burden in my life.

He had called me many things and often times says that i am stupid. He said i needed to reform, and that the only way was "his way". for the past year i have been doing all he asks of me, i am not allowed to talk to my friends, neither am... } – Jan 24, 9:16 AM
