What Do I Need and How May I Serve?

A couple of weeks ago the question above came to me. I’ve begun using it as a spiritual practice every morning and today I started to think about the question itself.

It’s important to ask yourself what it is you need before you begin serving others. Service is based on what we have to give and if we are not meeting our own needs, we can’t meet the needs of others.

To ask how you may serve is opening yourself to the guidance of Spirit. It’s best to not just jump into serving others. Not only is it a good idea to ask the Universe, it’s important to ask those we mean to serve what it is they need.

Sometimes the answer you get may be you don’t need anything at the moment. To be in a place where you feel you already have all you need is a beautiful place. To be that full you begin to serve simply by being.

There may also be times you don’t get an answer to how you may serve. That’s okay. Let it come to you over the day. You may even get the answer that you don’t need to serve today. Sometimes we just need to be.

To serve is to show devotion to this One Life. To regularly ask how you may serve is to daily consecrate your vow to Life. And remember, to honor Life is to honor yourself. That is why you first ask what it is you need. It’s all one. You are an expression of the Divine Energy that is all. You are blessed and a blessing. May your path express the beauty, love and truth of Life Itself.
