Praise!
My dear beloved Youth in Christ,

'Ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive'  - Acts 20:35
Support the weak. Here is the essence of serving others. Not "impress the powerful," or "be good to the influential," or "help those who might be able to aid you in the future." No, the whole idea of true service is reaching out to others with no thought of getting something in return.

What about you? Are you willing to walk out by faith on Jesus' words today and live an others-focused, service-centered lifestyle? If so then rest assured that your faith will be rewarded by more blessings than selfishness will ever know.

God, give me the generosity and dedication to reach out to those who are exhausted by life's struggles.
In Your Holy Name, Amen.

Jesus loves you!
