"If someone is serving me, let him follow me; wherever I am, my servant will be there too. My Father will honor anyone who serves me" John 12:26
How can we best serve Him? We can serve one another, using the gifts He has given us.
"Now there are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit gives them. Also, there are different ways of serving, but it is the same Lord being served.6 And there are different modes of working, but it is the same God working them all in everyone"
1 Corinth 12:4-6
If we seek to serve each other as unto the Lord, we are serving as He taught us.
"Remember that whoever does good work, whether he be a slave or a free man, will be rewarded by the Lord" Ephesians 6:8
Do you love fun?
Think of fun ways to serve. Serve by gathering others and sparking them toserve. Host a party to raise money for the poor, make hygiene packs for the homeless, or school packs for kids.
Do you like a challenge? Think of challenges to help others. Challenge friends or family to raise money for a charitable cause.
Challenge others to collect food or clothes for a local homeless shelter.
Do you like facts and figures? Volunteer to assist in raising money for a charity, perhaps offer to assist with their financial management. Research organizations that represent charitable needs you agree with and discover ways you can use your gifts to best help them.
Do you come to life when you are giving to others? Seek volunteer opportunities with a charity you believe in. Offer to aid a family in need by babysitting, cooking, or pulling weeds.
"Whatever work you do, put yourself into it, as those who are serving not merely other people, but the Lord. Remember that as your reward, you will receive the inheritance from the Lord. You are slaving for the Lord, for the Messiah" Colossians 3:23-24
How do you serve the Lord and others?
