Serve Wholeheartedly with God in Mind

Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.

Ephesians 6:7-8

I was reminded this morning from some precious brothers in Christ of the importance of serving wholeheartedly with the right motive and the right perspective. You see, it is only as we serve others with our eyes on our creator that we will see and understand the reality of who God is and how all good things come from abiding in Him and nothing else. It is easy in this life to lose perspective and to get hung up on the approval or lack of appreciation from those that we serve or work for or minister to. The only way that you will have joy in this life is by maintaining your perspective and love for God as you allow His Spirit to fill your heart as you wholeheartedly serve Him and others with pure motives that flow out of the love that He has given you. No matter what circumstance faces you today; no matter what other people think or say or do; even if you feel like you are the only one who cares, I would encourage you to pour your heart out until it overflows with God’s love into the work that He has called you to do today. God cares and His love is more than enough to fulfill you and keep you running the race of love and servitude, all for the Glory of the one who makes you whole.
