AllWays God’s Will: Selfless, Loving Service<br />
We also know from the teachings of Jesus that only the believer who actively Loves his<br />
or her neighbor attains the Kingdom of Heaven. Thus, even if we aren’t certain of our Life<br />
Mission – and even if the “Fruits of the Spirit” test isn’t clear, we still know that Loving others is<br />
allWays in harmony with God’s Will for our lives …<br />
“Love one another as I have Loved you [i.e. self-sacrificially].”<br />
~ Jesus (John 15:12+17 & John 13:34)<br />
“Be steadfast and immovable, always excelling in the Work of the<br />
Lord, because you Know that in the Lord your labor is never in vain.” ~ 1<br />
Corinthians 15:58<br />
“For the whole Law is summed up in one Commandment: You shall<br />
Love your neighbor as yourSelf.” ~ Galatians 5:14<br />
“Live as Children of the Light – for the fruit of the Light is all that is<br />
Good and Right and True.” ~ Ephesians 5:8-9<br />
“Above all, maintain constant Love for one another … Be hospitable to<br />
one another without complaining. Like good stewards of the manifold<br />
Grace of God, serve one another with whatever Gift each of you has<br />
received.” ~ 1 Peter 4:8-10<br />
“If we Love one another, God Lives in us, and His Love is perfected<br />
in us … God is Love, and those who abide in Love abide in God, and<br />
God abides in them.” ~ 1 John 4:12+16<br />

There are opportunities every day (indeed, in every moment) to be a Child of God. Every<br />
emotion felt is an opportunity to honestly express it. Every moment of surprise is an opportunity<br />
to Love with selfless courage (as opposed to reacting with selfish fear). Every confrontation with<br />
something new is an opportunity to stand in awe without analysis, pre-conception or judgment.<br />
Every “coincidence” is a Wonder-full opportunity to see God “speaking” with you. Every time<br />
you are either attacked or supported is an opportunity to look past the man-made labels of<br />
“enemy” or “friend” and simply accept what is being given to you (be that gift the challenge to<br />
lovingly forgive the “enemy” or the opportunity to be humbly thank-full for the “friend”).<br />
One day of pro-active, Purpose-full work is enough to bring you Peace …<br />
One day, every day …<br />
