Getting to the Heart of the Lesson

Through service we find love and truth in action.

Young children are usually eager to be helpers; they are anxious to learn new skills and show us their independence. But the joy of serving others goes much deeper than just feeling capable. Our hearts respond to service because service helps us to expand our awareness beyond our little selves. Service to others is an opportunity to experience omnipresent spirit because we gradually learn that we are not merely helping another person — we are serving the highest good, and we become love in action. Learning the joy of service is one of the best ways to keep our hearts open to all. The reason that Jesus suggested that we ought to serve the poor and the downtrodden, the lame and the blind, is really a methodology for breaking down barriers between “them” and “us.” When we serve with love and compassion, those whom we serve become brothers and sisters, not the others.
