We are still talking about focusing on what matters most. So, according to Jesus, what matters most? Love God, love people.
Another way to show that we love people is to serve them.
Wow, there are so many ways that we overlook in serving people! Help out a shelter for the homeless, the hurting, the needy, the broken. Serve your neighbors (literal neighbors) by raking their yard, moving their lawn, taking out their trash. Serve in your church by doing something, especially if nobody even notices. Serve your family by being their and loving them. Spend time with those that are close and help when they don't even ask.
Jesus came to earth to serve us and in that act Jesus changed the world radically. Just love on people and serve them in every way and possibility.
Now, I know my initial thought is: "What if people start to take advantage of me?" Well, Jesus was crucified. Let's take from his example.
I'm not saying we necessarily have to go out and die for everyone but let's do something more that what we are doing now. It is so easy to become selfish and self-centered these days. Just love people and serve them in any possible way you can.
