Only the Beginning
This started me on a journey where I discovered things in the Scriptures I hadn’t noticed as deeply before. For example, when Jesus taught about our visiting the person in prison or giving a cup of cold water to someone He said, “When you’ve done it to the least of these, you’ve done it unto Me” (see Matt. 25:40). There’s not one of us who would not be ecstatic beyond reason for the privilege of giving Jesus a cup of water. And yet when we serve and love people, He takes it personally. It’s as though He is in the room and it was Him we served.
It seems to me that if we better understand His delight in the things we do for others, our awareness of His heart will grow exponentially. It is possible to serve people and not really love God. That’s the whole point of 1 Corinthians 13. But it’s impossible to really love God and not love and serve people. And the beauty is, we don’t honor people separate from God but instead unto God.

How could believing that everything is an opportunity for worship affect our joy?
