What can inspire us to serve?
In this world, we strive for many things, for new purchases, for a place in society, for fame and money. But when people sum up their lives, they usually do not complain that they did not buy a new iPhone, or that they earned little money. At this time, they regret that they did not spend enough time with their relatives and friends, did not communicate much, did not help people who needed their help. After all, the true joy of a person is not in gadgets or the size of their salary, but in how much you can influence and help others, make their lives better, happier. Those people who realize this, as a rule, have a brighter, fuller, emotionally and spiritually saturated life. Such people have a goal, a meaning, because they invest not in earthly things, which are quickly lost, but in eternal ones: in relationships with God and other people. After all, the Kingdom of God is a home for those who truly want to become its inhabitant, and not just chase after the benefits of our sinful earth:
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Gospel of Matthew 6:19-21
