But now to go on with our lesson of loving [[service]].

[[Duty]] to serve comes upon us all. When duty becomes [[monotonous]] and full of [[drudgery]], it is hard to do such [[service]] in [[love]]. One must then work on [[attitude]], an attitude of love.

We can look at any thing we do in life and question why we do this particular thing. Most often it is service to self, others or to God. Showing love in that service towards self, others or God is what we are striving for.

Remember to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your mind and all your soul and your neighbour as yourself.” On this hangs the law of service.

When you come to more clearly understand your service, first your loving service to yourself, then loving service to your neighbour and then loving service to God, you come into a higher sense of happiness, joy and ecstasy. Living in a more cared for body and environment leads to soul enrichment, for yourself and for all those who will come in contact with you. Being healthier and coming from a safe environment leads to more loving service outwards to others, your family, your extended family neighbourhood, and the world.

Because we are a part of one greater whole, our service leads upwards in appreciation and love and service for our Creator God, as we see in His children and in His creations, His loving service to us!

In love has He created us and in love does he uphold us and maintain all of His creations. We truly do “live and move and have our being in Him” and because He loves us, this is His eternal, loving service to us. Should we do no less towards our brothers and sisters now and through all eternity?

In our loving service, no matter how small the deed may seem to us, even a smile to a “stranger” in our midst, we are doing this service to Him. Look around you and see how you can extend the Father’s love towards others in loving service. Consider food banks, donations, charities especially now in this special season of the year. You can think of many more.

The Father is perfect in His loving service. Strive in your loving service to exemplify His ideal of selfless loving service, not seeking reward but that in your unconditional loving service, others are enriched and blessed because of your service which in reality is your expression of love to your brother because he is your brother in the family of God.
