The Joy of Serving

Devotional

Service in God's kingdom brings a unique kind of joy - one that can't be found anywhere else. When we serve others with pure motives, focusing on Christ rather than recognition or reward, we experience a deep satisfaction that transforms both us and those we serve. This joy becomes contagious, creating a positive cycle of giving and receiving that strengthens the entire church community.

Bible Verse

Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. - Deuteronomy 6:4-5

Reflection Question

When was the last time you experienced unexpected joy while serving others, and what made that experience special?

Quote Serving others helps you love people unconditionally. And the way the Lord will give you joy to serve others when you are serving him. And it's a joy that the world can't give. I can't even describe it.

Prayer

Dear God, thank you for the joy that comes from serving others in Your name. Help me maintain a servant's heart and find delight in building up Your church. Let my service be a reflection of Your love. Amen.
