Sometimes Life can
be stressful- full of hard questions like, financial constraints, sickness,
stress, death and disappointment. This makes us to question the existence of
God in our Life. But We (Christians) should serve God expecting nothing in
return.
When we enter into a
relationship with God with a “friends with benefits” mentality, we may find
ourselves sorely disappointed when we don’t get all the benefits that we thought
were promised to us.
God never promise us earthly uncertainties
(Luxury) –Houses, Cars, better Jobs, money etc but that he is preparing a
special place in Heaven for His Children.
Please get it straight: God
can provide all those earthly riches in fact, He owns everything. But Jesus
(the savior) never promised us those things. So anytime we are faced with
problems we should never give up on God because He is seriously preparing a
better place for his children.
When you expect something for
your service then it is business only. It should not be business. It should be
true love. In true love, there is no expectation of any result just like as you
do for your children without expecting anything.
Sometimes your children scold you, insult you
but still you serve them and that is still higher level of service. Not only
expecting any result but even if you get a negative result and you still serve,
it is the best form of service. God tests- Sometimes, He gives negative result
to your service.
We
must worship God because He is the only true God NOT because of what we expect Him
to do for us. Indeed, so many people have been disappointed because they
expected their lives to change for the better with their thanksgiving to God.
God gives earthly riches to those He want to give not because of our expectation.
God
might not give us earthly riches but Ultimately He will give us eternal place
where there are no earthquakes, wars, murder, fornication, adultery and
disappointments.
‘The earlier the better’
Some of the bombs
dropped on England by the Germans during World War II are still killing people.
Sometimes they are discovered and blow up at construction sites, in fishing
nets, or on beaches more than fifty years after the war. Undetected bombs
become more dangerous with time because corrosion can expose the detonator.
As Christians we
must learn Now that serving God is an obligation! He has promised us to provide
us our daily bread and that should be enough to satisfy our transition on
earth.
The best service we can do is,
do it without expecting. No need to ask God for anything, He will
automatically give. There is no need to have expectations. God gives
everything.
