Serving others is an expression of the very Heart of God, Who expresses His Love for us through unending service even now. Look at your life-- consider how much God gives you, how much help & fortune & sustenance He supplies, all from sheer Goodness. That is the essence of servanthood, to which we are ALL called as His adopted children, in the likeness of Christ His Son... Our Lord Who was also our Suffering Servant. What magnificent compassion, what awe-inspiring humility there is in that Truth! Jesus lived entirely for the sake of others, to bring them Salvation and joy and health of both soul & body. He freely & willingly sacrificed His own Life for us, not out of compulsion or obligation, but from a place of Grace, fueled entirely by Love! This is what we, too, can echo in little ways, by letting that same grace flow through us in all we do. No exceptions. Our entire lives can be consciously spent for God & for others, if our every deed is done in a spirit of Christ's Charity.
