We are always serving something. We constantly give our attention, energy, and emotions to an ideology, people, and our happiness projects. Fearful people serve fear. Angry people serve anger, and loving people serve love. This is more than a quaint psychological point of view. Our lives take on the flavor of what we are serving. We become what we serve. For example, Francis of Assisi served Christ with his entire being. As a result, he became the first known stigmatist in Christian history, miraculously receiving the wounds of Christ approximately a year prior to his death. The path forward is simple: stay awake, stay alert, and wisely choose what it is you are going to serve. Since you have to serve some reality, why not choose to serve the highest truth, beauty, and goodness. Choose to serve God.
What am I serving today?
