Service

The single greatest act of service was performed in the garden of Gethsemane, by the Savior. He gave himself freely that we might live. He opened the gate that we may enter in and find peace because he loves us.

Service is just another way to express your love. It is in the things that we do that shows how much we care. It may be visiting the sick, or going back time and time again just to be turned away, or maybe helping with a project that needs an extra set of hands.

Whenever we seek to help someone we are helping the Savior. Christ taught "When ye are in the service of your fellow men ye are in the service of your God." He also taught "If ye have done it unto the least of these, Ye have done it unto me. When we serve others we are serving our God, we are becoming more like Christ.

He who spent his life teaching, by example was teaching us to be a better people. His desire is that we love one another. We show that love by serving and teaching others. Teaching them how they might be effective instruments in the hands of the Father. The Savior said to Peter "When thou art converted feed my sheep." The invitation is just as clear today. When you have been warned... don't you think it would be just as important to help get the message out.

God loves us so much! He uses others to cross the paths of those in need. In turn a strange thing happens. Both are strengthened. Both rejoice together and are blessed not only in this life but in the next!
