Serving Is My Happy Place

There’s a holy kind of excitement that stirs in your soul when you realize that God didn’t just create you to exist—He created you to serve. And not in just any way, but in a way that uniquely reflects how He wired you. The skills, passions, quirks, creativity, and even the tender places in your story—they’re all part of a bigger purpose: to bless His people.

What a gift that is.

To serve God’s greatest commodity—His people—is an honor that reshapes how we view our lives. When we serve others, we’re not just filling a need. We’re reflecting the heart of Jesus. We’re walking in humility, just as Philippians 2:3–4 reminds us. And when we lean into our God-given design, that service overflows with joy, energy, and purpose.

You weren’t meant to serve like someone else.

You were meant to serve like you.

“I love helping others. Lord, continue to fashion a servant’s heart within me.”

Let that be our prayer today. That as we pour out, we do so with joy. That as we love others, we reflect Jesus. And that in every act of service, big or small, we are reminded that it is a gift to be used by God—exactly as He made us.

So go on.

Serve freely.

Love deeply.

And shine brightly—in the unique, beautiful way that only you can.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

Philippians 2:3–4 (NIV)
