#faithbites #faithjourney #redletterchallenge Service<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was sitting in a pastor call committee doing God’s work. Out of the blue, I got a text message from my neighbor asking if he could mow my lawn. He wasn’t expecting anything in return or anything, just did it for the service. I had to pick up dinner after the meeting and picked him up a six-pack of beer. He didn’t ask for it or want it, but it turned out it was his favorite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He served because he knew I was having a rough time with pain and wanted to help. I treated him not because I had to or expected it, but because I wanted to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don’t serve and perform acts of service because we have to earn our salvation. We serve and love because Jesus loved us first. Our true service is to show His love through our acts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
