7 Reasons Why I Serve Others

Get used to it. God is nuts-and-a-half about people. Don't think so? Just look around and think and see with fresh eyes the myriad of good things he has already done for us since the beginning of time. Though, for millennia's, humanity has found a way to royally screw up what God has given as gifts, He has never stopped displaying his love to us...never stopped serving us (via answered prayer, daily provision, inner peace, a reason for existence, etc.)

He's captured my heart and now I want to capture His heart and serve others. Here are 7 reasons why I want to serve other people:

1. Out of personal love & gratitude for the God (Jesus) who came to serve me.
2. Because of the community that often happens.
3. Because someone might see a little of God's goodness when I serve them.
4. Because God gifted me (and you) so I can serve others with my life.
5. Because I’m wired to sacrifice.
6. Because I'm fulfilled when I serve others.
7. Because God is honored and greatly pleased when I serve people.


So, why not chew on this 30 second message for the next 24 hours and look for opportunities to partner with God in serving humanity?!?
