Have you had your Joy Juice today? Serve with joy….no matter where you
are.
Before you were born,
God knew you and everything about you!
That’s hard to comprehend, isn’t it?
I don’t pretend to even begin to grasp that concept… other than, HE IS
GOD!
In Jeremiah 1:5, God tells us
that: “Before I made you in your
mother’s womb, I chose you. Before you
were born, I set you apart for a special work.” He designed us for a
purpose. He gave us unique abilities,
talents, interests and gifts…all to be used for His glory. Are you fulfilling His plan for your life? The Bible repeatedly tells us to “serve the
Lord with all your heart”. If we are
serving Him with a genuine heart, then we will be sensitive to the needs of
others and how we can help them.
Rick Warren tells us in his book The
Purpose Driven Life: “For Christians,
service is not optional, something to be tacked onto our schedules if we can
spare the time. It is the heart of the
Christian life.”
Another great quote regarding serving others is from Mother Teresa:
“Holy living consists in doing God’s work with a smile.” My interpretation is this: Sincere,
heart-felt service which honors God, brings much JOY to one’s life!
Serve the Lord with gladness! Seek God’s plan by
fulfilling His purpose for which He “set you apart.” Serve joyfully!
