How can I serve You?

"For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another." -Galatians 5:13 (NASB)

I was recently listening to the radio and the host of a financial advice show answered the calls by greeting the callers with, "How can I serve you today?"  As we are busy with the routines of life, we may miss opportunities to serve or, possibly worse, we may become annoyed when we are called to take time out of our busy schedules to serve.  As we consider how blessed we are in our lives, we can also consider ways that we can show God's love by serving!

God calls us to serve Him and we can show His love by serving others.  When God presents us the opportunity to serve, we should do so joyfully.  Through our joy in serving God and those around us, we are serving Him and allowing others to know His love.  We can know how to serve God by praying to Him and asking Him, "How can we serve You?"  God will provide us opportunities to serve Him and to serve others in His name, so we need to be prepared and willing servants!

When praying to God, be sure to ask, "How can I serve You?"

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for all of the blessings in my life.  Please help me to see how I can serve You and show Your love to those that You place in my path.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
