Salutations attractive my people, I remain blessed having you all daily inspired by and extensively loved.
To begin with, I'll to say that....
Service is not enough…. As this may be an important part of human existence but to be honest, that's not enough for the whole existence.
Being remembered for your sincere commitment and dedicated services without seeking to know He that you're serving is a lot.
The very essence of this particular write-up being put together, is to bring an awareness about the inconvenience part of service without knowing who's it that you're serving.
You're serving in truth and spirit as commanded, but what will make your services worth sacrificing is your personal relationship with your creator.
Sometimes we think we’re okay because we’re serving.
We show up.
We lead.
We give our time, our energy, our yes.
And deep inside, we assume… this must be enough.
But if we’re honest, there are moments when even after serving, we still feel empty.
Still tired.
Still longing for something more.
And maybe the real question is:
Are we seeking God… or
are we just seeking service?
Because it’s possible to keep saying yes to ministry, to keep looking for where to serve next… and yet slowly lose the intimacy with the One we’re serving.
We stay busy.
We stay active.
But deep inside, we feel disconnected.
And that’s because…
we were never meant to be filled by service.
We were meant to be filled by Christ.
Service is an overflow, not the source.
Ministry is an extension, not the foundation.
Because you can do so much for God…
and still forget to simply be with Him.
So maybe this is the invitation:
Before we serve, we sit.
Before we pour out, we receive.
Before we say yes to people, we say yes to His presence.
Because no amount of service can replace intimacy with God.
We’re not just called to work for Him,
we’re called to walk with Him.
And maybe today, instead of asking,
“Where else can I serve?”
We start asking, “
“Lord, am I still seeking You?”
Don’t let serving God replace seeking Him. Gets to know about the very God you're serving, seek Him first and every other things of life will be gladly added to your credibility without pressure or credentials.
You're reading from your handsome friend John Petra!
One love.
