"Fulfillment in Service"

by: Zoie Garcia JF

"Fulfillment in Service"

After reading the gospel, it has come to me that I was put on this earth for a reason. To know what I must do, and to follow in the path of God, I must first fully understand His orders and listen attentively to His word.

Reading the gospel helped me realized that I was put on this earth to not just fulfill his task for me, but his task for others. We must know that we were not created just to care about only ourselves. We must learn to do things for others as Jesus did. We will be able to follow in God's path if we think about what others need, not just what we need. We must learn to be open minded, responsible, and especially generous, so we may show how thankful we are to the Lord for creating us. A few years back, I helped give out relief goods to those affected by the typhoon. After the activity, I felt very emotionally satisfied, and it showed me that doing service for others will make us happy in the long run. After that, my faith in God grew greater and stronger.

In summary, I believe that to show God that we are thankful for everyone he has done (and is doing) for us, we must return the favor by serving others. We must learn to be selfless enough to live and follow in God's desired path for us.
