Day 2: Serve from love, not obligation or applause

It’s possible to be busy for God and still miss God if love isn’t the engine. Duty without love drains the soul, but love-filled service protects the heart and gives joy in the doing. Ask the Spirit to rekindle affection for Jesus so your service flows from knowing Him, not from wanting credit. When love leads, even hidden acts become holy ground. Let every “yes” today rise from gratitude for the One who loved you first. Lay down the need to be noticed and pick up the freedom of serving for His smile.

1 Corinthians 13:1–3
If I speak powerfully, understand mysteries, possess great faith, or give away everything—even my life—but don’t have love, I become noise, I gain nothing, and all my impressive deeds amount to zero before God.

Reflection: In one specific ministry or relationship, where has love cooled—and what simple action will re-warm your heart before you serve again?
