Time to Serve

I was driving back home from work with my friends when one of them told us her realization after her experience in the recent Youth Encounter event last weekend.

Her realization was this:
That she has to give something back to the Lord... after all the worshiping and the good feeling and happy feeling she got from attending worship services. She thought she is not using all her talents and faculties yet to serve God.

Thus, she joined the dance group for the concert. Because she knows she can dance, she wants to serve God in dancing. She wants to give back and offer herself through her talents in dancing.

All of this boils into one point: That it is time to serve the Lord.

That it is time to start being a disciple... no... but an apostle for Christ and to serve...
not only worship Him and feel goody-goody inside...
not only feeling uplifted and high everytime.

But to spread the Good News with not only your words... but also with your actions... no... WITH YOUR WHOLE LIFE.

Use your God-given talents to serve him. To REALLY SERVE HIM. Better yet... use your CORE GIFTS, things that makes you happy when you do it especially when you do it for the good of others... serving others... loving others.

As for my friend, she is starting to realize it at her young age... she is starting to use her talents for to serve others... to serve God... and to love others... as well as to love God.
