Impelled to serve

Posted Jul 21, 2010 11:19 AM
I often have felt the need to serve other people. I know we all have a mission on earth to serve a purpose. I have felt that mine was helping people in various ways. First through prayer and then in other ways as well.




It 2 Timothy states "The servent of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient."

2 Timothy 2:24




I've also had a lot of experince with prayer and being preservent in our needs being met. Prayer has met a lot of my needs. Most actually. Most times on a daily basis. an example of this is the other day I was having neck pain. It felt like I had a pintiched nerve. Pain was in my neck and going down into my shoulder. At times the pain got so bad I felt like crying and just wanted to sit down and rest but I was also working. So finally after having the pain al day I decided I would sit down and pray about this situation. There was nothing else I could do about it anyway at that time. So I prayed with what I've been learning. I am made in the image and likeness of God and that God does not create pain or misery. I kept praying on these thoughts and other things I have read in the bible. I then went home and read a spiritual magazine and feel asleep. The next morning I woke up and the pain was gone and hasn't returned since and this was a week ago.

Christina,

It is a privilege to serve others in ways that comfort and lift them to new levels.

If we each embraced this teaching then we would be naturally giving and receiving without any strings attached. That is the lifestyle Christ modeled for us.

When we have strings attached to giving or receiving it is a spiritually empty transaction regardless of how it appears.

Have you ever received a gift only to later have it used as a tool to manipulate you?

I completely know that your giving nature comes from a place of purity. Keep shining your Light!

Love and Blessings,
Rhonda
Prayer is indeed a powerful tool that has been made available to us!
