Love and service...

"you cannot love what you're not willing to serve.."
-Jesus Christ


love is service - you cannot love what you're not willing to serve.. Jesus said this (or something like this) on the first Maundy Thursday when he washed the feet of his Apostles...love is service... service is love... you cannot love what you're not willing to serve, and you cannot serve what you're not willing to love...



we see people do the same stuff for years - 5, 10, 20, 30 years of their lives w/o really getting much financial rewards... we meet drivers who get us to work, gov't worker who process our papers... teachers, cook, laborers, (BPO processors)... - almost all types of profession would render some form of service on it - and they would do it for the rest of their lives even if the pay is almost just enought to get by on the next one...
sometimes, we wonder why... why not aspire for a better one...
sometimes it seems that the answer is "that's all they can do" or "they're good at it"... but when we try to dig deeper, we can see something more - there's gotta be more than just to get by from payday to payday... there's gotta be more profound reason behind it - something they themselves are sometimes not aware of... and those who have a subconscious idea would simply tell you -
"I love what I do..."
that's probably enough to get us by... it's probably enough even if we're earning just enough...
in the end, if you try to love what you do, that's enough to keep you going - coz once you lose that love, even the simplest task would deem impossible and worthless...
