Will You Deliver?

Will you deliver?: On a vacation trip we made, some friends asked us to take some things for relatives who lived in the city where we traveled. At first, it seemed to us that it was hard to do and considered saying "no". But, because they were our friends and for the love we felt for them, we change our thinking and did them the favour. They did well with their family and we did well with our friends. There is another kind of tasks we do, not because we like it or because we feel confortable doing it, but because our loving God is asking us to do it and we decide to obey Him, although we have no relationship at all with the people whom we serve in His Name. We do it because we have a personal relationship with the Lord and obey Him out of love. This is the principle behind "love your neighbor" and "Christian service". We will never be good enough to do so on our own initiative, we do it for love and obedience to our heavenly Father.
