“Stop trying to be amazing and start being useful.” Jay Baer

I would think if Christ desires anything for us where relationships are concerned, it is that we become useful to one another. Be the helping hand. Position yourself in people’s lives to be of service to them. Look out for your neighbor. Tend to the needs of the tribe. Expand the borders of your usefulness. Make it your ambition to assist. Be proactively and aggressively useful.

"In serving each other we become free.” First Knight (the movie)

How do we experience freedom in service? Well, for one, all submission to God is voluntary. There are consequences if we refuse Him, just as there are consequences for every decision we make. Yet He still gives us the freedom to choose. Freedom is not necessarily the power to do whatever we want, but the ability to do what we should. Doesn’t experience teach us that doing what we want often enslaves, while doing what we should sets us free?

“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in service to others.” Gandhi

When I serve others let me not do so like the mercenary working for hire, but like the soldier serving the country they love. When we serve others, we are not bartering our actions to God so He will let us into Heaven. A true servant expresses the core values of Heaven, because their heart is already there. The core value of Heaven is love.
