Human life is a life of service.

You can see clearly the benefit of being equally aware of the needs of others with whom you come into contact. You are asked to be vulnerable, but you are also asked to be supportive, to be giving, to be compassionate, to be loving. You are asked to serve another, to serve an individual, a group, a community, a national interest.

Human life is a life of service, ultimately service that engages the spiritual presence of another. Often you do not see or know of the needs that are being cried out for a response, but if you adjust your attention to what seem to be the needs of others, you’re halfway to the goal of being helpful.

How is your help provided? For many, that help is offered simply by listening with a compassionate and loving ear. There are times when your serving another is achieved by something you say or something you do or by some way that you conduct your life that reflects your own spiritual awareness. But service to another is merely another way of encouraging you to become more loving.
