b'As God\\u2019s people in Christ, we are called to bless and serve others through our actions.\\nWhy? Because God has been gracious to us. He has given us His love and salvation. As we are empowered by His Holy Spirit, one way we begin to show our love for God is by loving others. We can serve other people by giving up our time and offering our abilities to help those in need, spreading God\\u2019s love in a very tangible way.\\nVolunteering at a soup kitchen, lending a hand at a homeless shelter, or even just the small act of helping someone clean up\\u2014in these actions, we are serving God as we serve others, using the time God has given us to serve in His kingdom.\\nWhile it can be hard to find time or to step outside of your comfort zone, don\\u2019t steer away from opportunities to serve! Yes, when you give of your time and abilities to help others, you may feel impatient, awkward, or not even sure what to do, but Jesus is with you. He will guide you through the opportunities to serve that He puts in front of you.\\nToday, be continually seeking ways you can help, spreading God\\u2019s love. Whether it\\u2019s painting a fence or praying with someone, we have the opportunity to serve because Jesus served us. \\u2022 Briana VanderVelde\\n\\u2022 What are ways you can help serve in your church and community? \\n\\u2022 How does serving others show them how much Jesus loves them (John 3:16)? \\n\\u2022 When has someone shown love to you through service? \\nYou, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free.
