LOVE IN SERVICE IS WORSHIP
It has become a normal trend for the people to either work for publicity or for a reward. The number of social networks and the contents would vouch for peoples craving for publicity. Not even a small good is accomplished either in silence or without expectation of any reward. We have applied this to God also. We promise to do something to God so that He does something in return, a sort of ‘give and take’ or ‘return and reward’ business. In today’s Gospel passage Jesus highlights that service is the best form of our love and devotion to God and humanity. To love and serve God is our duty and to love and serve the humanity is our responsibility.
There are also people amidst us who never bother about name, fame or popularity but go on quietly accomplishing their responsibility in love and silence. They don’t do anything expecting a return but with the satisfaction and happiness of helping someone in need. These are the people who will be revered and held high by God. Try to make love in service as worship, this is the type of worship that God desires.
