~ REFLECTION ~ Each of us has been baptized into the mystery of the Holy Spirit. We invoke the Holy Trinity every time we sign ourselves with the cross. So today we pause to acknowledge this mystery and to give thanks for the God of life who has sent the Son and the Holy Spirit for our salvation. May our Christian life together reflect the love among Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. ~ REFLEXION ~ Cada uno de nosotros ha sido bautizado en el misterio del Espíritu Santo. Cada vez que nos santiguamos invocamos a la Santísima Trinidad. Por tanto, hoy nos detenemos a reconocer este misterio y a dar gracias por el Dios de la vida, que envió a su Hijo y al Espíritu Santo para nuestra salvación. Que nuestra vida cristiana en comunidad refleje el amor que hay entre el Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu Santo.

2 Reasons to Serve Others: 1. We were created to Serve others. Ephesians 2:10 says, “It is God Himself who has made us what we are and given us new lives from Christ Jesus. Long ago He planned that we should spend these lives in helping others.” Even before you were born, God planned a life of service for you. One reason why so many people are miserable today is because they’ve missed the point of life. As I serve others, my own needs are met and as I give my life away, I find it. You were created for service. If you’re not serving somewhere, you're missing out on the very reason you were created. 2. It proves that we belong to Christ. Romans 7:4 Says, “You are part of the body of Christ and now you belong to Him in order that we might be useful in the service of God.” God says that the way you know you’re a part of the body of Christ is that you serve other. Serving is the proof of our identity as members of His family.

2 Razones porque Servir a Otros: 1. Fuimos creados para server a otros. Efesios 2:10 dice, “Ha sido Dios mismo quien nos hizo quienes somos y nos ha dado vida nueva en Christo Jesus.

Desde antes El planeo que vivieramos al servicio de otros.” Antes de que nacieras, Dios planeo una vida de servicio para ti. Una de las razones porque la gente es miserable es porque no an entendido el proposito de su vida. En cuanto sirvo a otros, mis necesidades son cumplidas y en cuanto entrego mi vida, la encuentro. Fuiste creado para server. Si no estas sirviendo en algo, estas perdiendo la razon por la cual fuiste creado.

2. Prueba que le pertenecemos a Cristo. Romanos 7:4 dice: “Eres parte del cuerpo de Cristo y ahora le perteneces a El para que estes disponible al servicio de Dios.” Dios dice que la manera de saber si eres parte del cuerpo de Cristo es que estes al servicio de otros. El servicio es nuestra prueba de identidad como miembros de Su Familia.
