[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]God calls all Christians to serve God and the neighbor!
[bctt tweet=”God’s calling in our lives is not for self righteousness or self satisfaction. “]
God’s people serve because they belong to God’s Kingdom. Belonging to God’s Kingdom makes us agents or members of this agency that functions very differently than human agencies or organizations. In other words, anything, we do, should never be about us, but Christ Jesus!
In human organizations, it is the smartest, strongest, most powerful and wealthiest who lead. [bctt tweet=”In God’s Kingdom, any one can serve and lead. “]
In fact, Jesus emptied Himself so that He can fill us up. He fills us up with the ability to lead and serve. It does not really matter how weak, unequipped or unprepared you may feel.
What God wants us to do, as individual Christians or as a church, is to make someone [people we know or those we do not know] smile.
[bctt tweet=”Every time we touch someone’s heart, God’s heart is also touched. “]
[bctt tweet=”Every time we help someone repent from sin, there is rejoicing in the entire community in heaven, including God. There’s a party in heaven! “]
The above statement derives from Jesus’ words in Luke 15: 10, which lays down the ultimate goal for everything we do when it comes to serving God and the People.
So everything we are called to do is simply to make God and the people in Heaven smile.
The question that remains, however, is: “in your everyday living, as a church or as an individual, do you make God smile?”
