Serve Generously

Ephesians 6:7-8 – Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.

Service can either be viewed from a positive or negative mindset. Each time you serve with generosity your are planting seeds into good soil. When a seed enters the soil it will germinate, grow, and then bear fruit.

Each time you serve others you are planting seeds that will generate a harvest in your life. It is difficult to give you best seed and not reap a harvest.

To serve generously, we must learn to give from our hearts. When we give from our hearts, it will benefit others and make a significant difference in their lives.

If we serve reluctantly - are we truly serving? Being joyful and cheerful in our services gives people an opportunity to see God at work in our lives. Each time we step out of self to serve others, God will cause His favor to abound in our lives.

When we serve with generosity, it is a demonstration of our heartfelt thanks to God for all He has done and will continue to do in our lives.
When men see our generosity in serving others, they will know that it is God-inspired and God-given, which will enable them t praise God for His wonderful works.

As you serve, know that God will reward you for each act of service you provide.

Ponder and meditate on this:

Do I serve with generosity or do I serve begrudgingly?
