What I had to offer

Romans 12:5 it says: “so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belong to all the others.”

Service is a channel for sharing God’s love to us. We can be God’s instrument. In our home churches there are so many things to be done. Our church needs our service. We can be able to help and make a difference. We don’t need to be somebody in order for us to serve people. We don’t need to be a pastor in order to be a living testimony. We don’t need to have a good voice to be a worship leader. We just have to be our true selves and do what we can, do it with all your heart, do your best and all. That is what God wants from us.

What he wanted is our best that comes from our hearts. What we are willing to give for his kingdom. No matter how small, people seem to look at it whether you are just washing the dishes for your mom, taking care of your little brother or sister. Sharing God’s word to non-believers, encouraging those who have lost their hopes and dreams, praying for others, sharing what we have, cleaning our rooms, teaching kids at Sunday school, offering our talents, sharing our knowledge, studying hard, caring for our patients, offering a hand to our classmates, giving our tithes and offerings, cooking for our dad, helping our little brother with his homework, assisting to walk an old woman in the street. You can do anything and everything that you are so cheerful of doing or sharing. Sometimes we are not appreciated. Sometimes our efforts are unnoticed by people around us. But God sees our efforts. Imagine seeing God smile because of you? How rewarding is that? We don’t do these because of what others will say. We do it for God’s glory. When our right hand has done something do not let our left hand see it. For what is hidden and what is unnoticed is greatly rewarded by God.

Imagine if all of us will do something for God, then our nations will be blessed for we are willing to serve each other. There will be unity and peace in our country because no one is just confined in himself. Everyone will be willing to sacrifice for his brother, thinking less of himself. There will be no corruptions, no crime, no selfishness, and no poverty. Then the world will be a better place to live in.

Let us extend our hands in order to reach others. We will surely find true happiness in sharing what we have. It is so rewarding to make someone smile because of our simple efforts. Service is an offering to God. We are one body of Christ. Imagine if a tooth aches isn’t it difficult to finish or even start what we are doing? Each has a special part to accomplish. Each part is equally important just like the others. If that part does not function well, then it will greatly affect the other parts. Here on earth we are God’s hands, and God’s feet. Let us not be ashamed in serving God by our nothingness. Do not ever think that you can not do it, for when we are not capable, God is capable. Let us offer God ourselves. Let him use you for his purpose. May God bless us future nurses.
