The Spirituality of Service
How does service increase our spirituality?
First, service helps us establish true values and priorities by
distinguishing between the worth of material things that pass, and those
things of lasting, even eternal, value.
Second, service helps us establish a righteous tradition.
Third, service helps us overcome selfishness and sin.
Fourth, not only does service overcome selfishness and sin, but it helps to recompense for sin.
Fifth, service helps us generate love and appreciation.
Sixth, service is the principal way of showing gratitude to the Savior.
Seventh, service channels our desires and energies into righteous activity.
Eighth, service helps us cleanse ourselves and become purified and sanctified.
Ninth, charitable service helps us do as the Savior did, for was not His
whole ministry one of reaching out and helping, lifting and blessing,
loving and caring?
Tenth, service helps us to get to know the Savior, for “how knoweth a man the master whom he has not served?”
