Serving God Where You Are

Serving God Where You Are

There are many ways of serving God. One could enter a seminary or a monastery or a convent, or a friary.

If one is not called to a religious life, maybe you are called to a family life or to single blessedness, all are called to holiness: “Be holy, for I am Holy.” ~God the Father, Yahweh Sabaoth, Father of Jesus Christ, our Heavenly Father and Creator.

Where you are, serve the Lord.

If you do these, you are becoming a productive disciple and your efforts will bear fruit and God will smile on you and be pleased with you.

It does not matter what your job is. What is important is that you contribute to the society and you are productive and many are benefitting from you, thus, you become a blessing to others.

You are contributing to the salvation of souls that many may be happy forever in paradise.

Serve God at your workplace. You are serving God by serving others.

Each job is vital to the society. Others are teachers, helping the youth learn how to earn a living and serve others, others are politicians who make laws and regulate the society, others are priests, who offer Holy Mass and all of the sacraments of the Church, others are entertainers, singers, and dancers, who entertain the world, others are sailors, pilots, and stewards who cater to the passengers who travel, others are architects, engineers, and construction workers, who build houses, churches, temples, buildings, condominiums, roads, and highways. Others are farmers, cow, poultry, chicken, pig raisers who raise animals for food and plant and harvest fruits and vegetables. Others are fishermen, who catch fish for food. While many are called to be fishers of men, only a few answer. When Jesus knocks at your hearts for you to know Him, love Him, honor Him, serve Him, and glorify Him, what shall you say?

Start serving God and say “Yes, Lord!!!”, “Here I am, Lord!!!”, “Send me, Lord!!!” “Amen, Lord!!!”

Would you deny God of his happiness of loving you?

Let us call onto God, Yahweh, “Abba! Father!” and let us act as His children who love Him, honor Him, magnify Him, serve Him, worship Him, and glorify Him.

Let us all be God’s children. Accept God into your life. Offer him, your body, soul, and spirit, life, heart, mind, strength, and your every breath.

Serve God, where you are. The time is now. Be you at home, at work, or walking, eating, or wherever you may be, serve God.

I repeat, Serve God where you are.
