Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fevor, serving the LORD. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with GOD’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.

JESUS said that the greatest commandment is to “Love the LORD your GOD with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” then HE said, “And the second is like it: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 22:37, 39). In order to keep the zeal and serve the LORD and HIS people, we must deny selfish gratification and seek to serve with spiritual fevor! We must shelf our “self!” In other words . . . when you see someone’s needs . . . shelf what you are doing and serve! When GOD tells you to serve . . . shelf your “self” and obey HIS Word! You may be on the roof-top and building a mansion with your own two hands, but if you look down and see someone who needs help below . . . shelf your “self” and serve! Oh! Be sure to put your “self” on the bottom shelf . . . so everyone can reach you! A key ingredient in serving is availability, and of course the greatest ingredient is to Love the LORD our GOD!
