Serve Humbly in Love
Serve Humbly in Love
What does service mean to you? In an era when we are often led to focus on ourselves,
pursue our own desires, and prioritize our own interests, God calls us to look for
ways to serve humbly in love.
“You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom
to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” (Galatians 5:13)

What does it mean to you to serve others? Perhaps it’s getting up early to flip
pancakes at a local community kitchen, volunteering to greet guests at the front door
of the church, or sharing a word of encouragement with someone you meet. Wherever
service fits into your life, we know it’s one of the most powerful ways to live out
our faith and share God’s love with others.
As Paul writes in Galatians 5:13, “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” In an era when we are often led to focus on ourselves, pursue our own desires, and prioritize our own interests, God calls us to look for ways to serve humbly in love. Service is a core value at Southern Adventist University, where students and employees regularly search for opportunities to serve, and the benefit is two-fold—it meets needs and changes hearts. With each act of service, we learn a little more about empathy, humility, and love.
As we strive to serve humbly in love, may we look outside of our own personal sphere of interest and shift our focus to sharing God’s love through service.
