"Service is Love"

Scripture Reading:    

John 4:24 (HCSBO) God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

Devotion And Meditation:

Pretend with me for a minute that you can't talk.  You can't write, or communicate at all using words.  That being the case, what would your actions say about the Savior?  Would your actions provoke others to think of the Lord at all?  What perception would they get of Him?  Would the way you live your life make people run to the altar to know this same Jesus that you know, or would they see your actions and shun Him?  Would they be confused about the personality of our Lord because you serve Him one day and serve your flesh the next?  What would your actions say about the Lord if you couldn't speak?  Worship is a lifestyle.  It’s not just a song.  It’s not just lifting your hands when the congregation is singing well at church.  It’s not just something you do on Sundays.  Worship is a lifestyle.  It’s how you live your life consistently every minute of every day.  Sometimes the greatest sermons ever preached are the ones that are seen and not heard.  When we worship the Lord in spirit and in truth, our acts of worship should line up with our words of worship.  Are we worshiping Him by the way we live our lives?  On a mission trip, where communication is a barrier, we express the love of Jesus through our actions; by being the hands and feet of Jesus Christ we demonstrate love.  Feeding a child; smiling and playing a simple ball game with them; taking time to hold their hand; embrace them regardless of how they are dressed; washing their feet...Service is love
