Service

Once you have done a man a service, what more reward would you have? Is it not enough to have obeyed the laws of your own nature, without expecting to be paid for it? Marcus Aurelius.
We should not expect payment or thanks for doing service. It is part of our spiritual growth and our commitment to working the Twelve Steps. Giving of ourselves in this way adds to our sense of purpose and self-esteem. We feel that we are part of a community of like-minded people, that we belong. Am I offering myself for service in the fellowships?

Prayer is often described as: The lifting up of the heart and mind to God. Perhaps it is also the offering of myself in service. When I do that service, I also do God’s will. It is prayer-in-action. There are many ways of connecting with a Power greater than ourselves and this kind of action is satisfying as it differs from so many of my prayers that seem to be of the ‘please’ and ‘thankyou’ kind. I ask God today for unselfishness so that I may help others as I have been helped, without expecting praise or reward.
