The more we serve Christ,the less we serve self
Do you only look out for nuber one?is that not a lonely empty life
When you serve JESUS,HE brings life to your spirit,and pupose to your life.
The best way to serve JESUS is to think of others first.Be kind to others.Say something nice to a chasier or a bus driver.You know a kind word can make their day
How do you serve JESUS?
How has it changed your life?

Some people really struggle to serve, some serve because it makes them feel good about themselves. Others just love to serve, they seek a role in life and find their place in the gentle and yet not always conforting arms of the church. They find something and someone to serve. Their life finds a reason, a purpose, and a joy. I am part of that group of people. One who would rather be doing the washing up at a party than wandering the crowd. It gives me joy to be needed, to give back. and in return i find challange and community give to me, and support for the rest of my life. We serve each other and all benefit, we serve our god and he serves us, and in the dance of life he provides the music.

He that serves even the least of my children serves me. I serve Jesus, by doing good and great things in this world.

Hi Scott
I agree.As well I enjoy seeing their faces light up when you are polite,and respectful of them.Sometimes that is all it needs to start a conversation with them.The next step is to slowly guide them to JESUS.Many people now attend church and bible studies because of this method
May the sunshine of GODS love bless you today and every day

I love to see their faces light up as well. Though, I believe the next step is to build a personal relationship with them, and guide them to my home based business opportunity, then to Jesus, if it is something they want.
I like to get to know them quite well before I start talking Jesus, because I have been burned, and hit, in the past for talking Jesus, with the wrong people.
Although, I just say that is how I got guided to Jesus, perhaps it is just my confidence that is lacking.
Sincerely and With Appreciation.

Hi godsgardener
I serve Jesus for a different reason. When I accepted His FREE gift of mercy and Him into my life, He asked me to serve. Serving demonstrates who my Savior is. I get pleasure from serving. It is also important to witness by serving. It is important to allow Jesus to determine what our gift is and honor that.
Prosperous mylotting

I agree.JESUS said"Follow me"That means we are to follow HIS example.When HE was here on earth most of what HE did was serve.It enriches your life

Greetings,
Every morning it starts with submission to Jesus to start my day, then I am able and have the willingness to serve those in my home and others because of the love of Jesus in me. In order to serve others one needs to submit fully to Jesus then it is through Him, because of His love, we are able to serve others.
Sometimes we can do good things but for the wrong reasons including serving others, this is the reason why we need to submit ourselves fully to Jesus, our submission to Him shows we are serving others for the right reasons, because of the love of Jesus in us.
I have served others in a variety of areas in my life by realizing that I need to submit to Jesus because this is what Jesus did daily by submitting Himself to the Father because the love of the Father was in Him He was able to do the will of Him who had sent Him.
It is a joy to serve others because of the love of Jesus. Once I realize this,it made my life more fulfilling.
Have a blessed day.

Yes, this is a wonderful message! Apart from Jesus, we are all nothing and useless. Jesus loves me so much and made beautiful things out of my life. And now, He is my life and my everything

well, its a good question about serving jesus, Sometimes I realize that by being so overwhelmed with many thing in life, I tend to forget my purpose in life. I even asked my self, why am i still living in this world. What is really my purpose in life. Do I serve my self or jesus?. Right now I am confused ,I am in the midst of struggle between serving God or serving others(loveones,job). Please give me some advice about my purpose in life, I am so empty right now...

All you need to do is to come to HIM in a real repentance and humbleness. God loves you so much and He is just there with a wide open arm waiting for you to come. Have real connection with and Trust Him with all of your heart
