July 6: The Joy of Service.
Serving Gladly Every Day.
Serve the Lord with gladness; come before His presence with singing. Know that the Lord, He is God; it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture.--Psalm 100:2, 3, NKJV
THERE IS COMFORT AND JOY in the service of Christ.--The Ministry of Healing, 487.
He desires us to serve Him in newness of life, with gladness every day.--Christ's Object Lessons, 299.
The exceeding rewards for right-doing, the enjoyment of heaven, the society of the angels, the communion and love of God and His Son, the elevation and extension of all our powers throughout eternal ages--are these not incentives and encouragements to urge us to give the heart's loving service to our Creator and Redeemer?--Steps to Christ, 21.
All the varied capabilities that men possess--of mind and soul and body--are given them by God, to be so employed as to reach the highest possible degree of excellence. But this cannot be a selfish and exclusive culture; for the character of God, whose likeness we are to receive, is benevolence and love. Every faculty, every attribute, with which the Creator has endowed us is to be employed for His glory and for the uplifting of our fellow men. And in this employment is found its purest, noblest, and happiest exercise.--Patriarchs and Prophets, 595.
"Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons.
Freely you have received, freely give."
--Matthew 10:8, NKJV
