Hello everyone!
I am amazed that when we serve others, we in turn receive the love of God. There is true joy that comes from serving those around us. The scriptures lay out clearly why service is so important:
Mathew 25:40 (Bible)
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Mosiah 2:17 (Book of Mormon)
17 And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God.
These scriptures both tech the same thing. They teach us to love God and our fellow man. We had the opportunity to do service for a couple in our ward this last week. We worked along side them trimming bushes, moving dirt, and lifting railroad ties. It started to pour, but all of us continued working happily! There is something about the spirit of service (along with a little mud) that makes me so so happy.
I'm thankful for all of you and invite you to serve one another. As you do, you will feel God's love for that person, as well as in your own life. Love y'all and talk to you soon!
