You know God through his agents, your friends who love you and hold the Light for you. God is always present, always with you, always available to you. And because God's presence is sometimes difficult to perceive and relate to, He manifests himself through His agents…who might be your parents, your lover, your spouse, your boss, your friends, even the "stranger" on the street.

"The Christ in me worships the Christ in you." And at the moment that this takes place, both start dancing in their hearts. That's a great, great ministry. You don't have to stand up and deliver sermons. You don't have to have a big congregation. If you want to, sure, go ahead; nobody here stands against that. But ministering from heart to heart is really a dynamic thing.

To see and know God, serve God in everybody else. That doesn't mean get in their way or eat their food for them. Sometimes it means that you cross the street and walk on the side opposite from them because that part of God (the other person) needs to be quiet now. It has to think through something. So underneath all of that, we find a statement about God: God is wisdom.

So you say, "Father, I'd like to be of greater service. Here are my abilities, my talents, my life expressions. Do with them what you want." Life smoothes out, and you start having such a good time that you say, "Is this all there is to it? It's so easy; it's so free!"

We all have small bits of God in us, as that pure essence, the Soul and the spirit of the Soul. This church of the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness knows that we all want God, more God, bigger God, gigantic God to be our servant. But we are here just to serve God.

The essence of true service is self-fulfillment. In that inner fulfillment, there are no regrets and no apologies. You will always be able to look back and see where you could have done better, and you'll always be able to look ahead and worry about doing better. But in true service, you just handle here and now with what you have. And you continue on with whatever presents itself to you next.

A lot of you are going to be traveling great distances, taking the Light and the love to the world. Others of us who sit very quietly at home - we also will serve, and we'll keep the Light and the love going to that one who is taking it out and sending it, so that there will always be this spiritual mantle with them that will support them on a lot of levels.

In this moment, You show us it is here. Your presence is with us in our breath and everyone around. And now we make one more request. Help us to be a greater servant so that we may be counted as one with You.

If a person drops out of loving, they've also dropped out of service, so they're doing things mechanically. They're no longer being of service; they are now being of "slaving," and they feel like they're a slave to something. When loving comes back in, then the serving reappears.

We have a right to grow and express ourselves without concerns about anyone else's inventory. It is not necessary to tell others what's good or bad, nor if we find them ugly or pretty in our opinion. If another person asks us for help, we can give it, just short of stopping their growth.
