SERVICE TO LIFE

By Brenda Crawford-Bee on Jul 1, 2008 in Cowoker with God, Giving Back, Service, Serving Others

Dear Friend,

Service to life, to Divine Spirit, is not a job. Personally, service and serving is merely doing what I love to do. More importantly though is that I serve with love and for the love of serving life, my beloved, family and my fellow man and what I receive from serving is more love. This school called life teaches us to serve without thought of return, but one receives something in return anyway. That’s the Law of Life. When I do what I love to do and I do my best, the best that I can humanly do and I do everything in the name of the Divine and the rest just falls into place. I try to put this into practice in my life daily. It works for me. Though personally, my ultimate goal is to become a co-worker with God, my first mission is to be a co-worker with that highest state of consciousness, to experience heaven right here, right now. Heaven is a state of consciousness. We create our own heaven. We create our hell. We create whatever it is that we are experiencing at the moment believe it or not. My heaven is not necessarily your heaven, or your hell mine. But why is that, one is might ask? Well, we all are one in our uniqueness is one answer and we all perceive things differently, I would suggest.

Have you ever wondered why we serve? One reason and probably a most important one is that we serve others because of our love for the Creator, and at the same time, serve all life. Ever wonder how you can be of service to all of life, to all living beings (species of all types, shapes and forms) on earth and otherwise? By using your God-given talents, of course, like, cooking, decorating, writing, sculpturing, flowering arrangement, reading to someone who cannot read perhaps; accounting, playing an instrument or singing. Maybe you’re a natural-born listener. Maybe you enjoy talking—talking to people or about people (in a positive way, of course); one-on-one, or to groups of people, even to yourself. Whatever your talents are, use them for the good of the whole, for the good of all life, including your own. To quote a Spiritual Master, “Use what you are”. “The nature of Soul is to constantly unfold, to keep moving into greater areas of personal awareness.” Harold Klemp Whatever your talent is, in whatever area it may be, it helps to keep in mind that you are doing what you love doing the most and that you do it with love and you do it for love and the love it gives to another and the love that you receive. When working as part of a team, and that is a talent, make sure that you are working in harmony with Divine Spirit while working with others. Your efforts will always be successful.
