SERVE GOD WITH ‘ZERO EXPECTATION’

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.
