Thinking of another with love serves God.

You serve God by serving another, but it is also true that in treating another in your mind with love, you are also serving God. There are times in your life when you look upon an opportunity for relating to another, and the closest you get is the recognition of what you should do. This recognition is a kind of reflection of God’s light that your soul produces by thinking of another kindly.

By thinking of another with love, you are also serving God, for you are surrounding that person with your light as you reflect it. That individual is frequently unaware of your thoughts, of your thoughts of compassion, healing thoughts, supporting thoughts, but nevertheless, the benefit of those thoughts is still present. God does not ask that you always respond in a positive, visible manner to the needs of others. Your prayers on another’s behalf are often the most appropriate response.
