A life spent in the service of God and communion with Him is the most pleasant life that anyone can live in this world.
— Matthew Henry
Service
Do not be ashamed to serve others for the love of Jesus Christ and to seem poor in this world.
— Thomas a Kempis
Service: God’s Part
Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks.
— Phillips Brooks
Serving Your Neighbor
But know that to serve God is nothing else than to serve your neighbor and do good to him in love — be it a child, wife, servant, enemy, friend. If you do not find yourself among the needy and the poor, where the Gospel shows us Christ, then you may know that your faith is not right, and that you have not yet tasted of Christ’s benevolence and work for you.
— Martin Luther
