BE – Love – Serve – REPEAT!

I read this slogan several years ago. It was the theme of a youth conference and it has stuck in my head as a good slogan for my life as a Christ-follower. I want to BE a child of God. I want BE-lieve in Him. I want to BE loved by Him. I want to honor Him BE-cause I LOVE Him. I want to SERVE others out of my LOVE for Him. It is a good cycle to be in and stay faithful to.  This morning in my journey through 1 Peter 4, I felt like this is exactly what “ole Pete” was saying. Check this out….

Be Alert; pay attention so that I can pray.

Love others deeply – if necessary then I can use words. My activities should show my love, honor and respect for others.

I should Serve others however they need me to serve.  There are so many ways that I can serve others. In fact the profession I’m in as a REALTOR, is a service profession. I can use my knowledge, skill and honor to serve my clients with the highest professional care and watch each detail closely. I can give them sound council and good advice based on good information.  I ultimately serve and honor God. I serve Him by serving others. I love Him because He loved me first. I love others because I love Him.

I want to BE His Child. I want LOVE like He loves. I want to SERVE like He serves and then I want to do it all over again tomorrow.

I want my life to be lived for His honor and His glory!
