Sincerity in Serving
There are many motivations when it comes to “serve” someone. There’s the obvious one: money – straight up give me dollar bills for the value I gave you. There’s to impress another person/people – I want to be known and famous.
And then there’s serving because of genuine love.
The bible says:
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
The sincerity of love will bring out the need to serve others. That’s what God wired us to do. That’s my purpose. As a father, I’m here to serve the needs of my wife and kid. In my small group, I’m here to serve my fellow Christians. In my community, I’m here to help my neighbors. In this world, I’m here to be a good citizen.
I must serve another with LOVE!
You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.
