Spreading love from all the nice information I can get ~ God bless^^
I have always served customers with the best service no matter to businessman, teens, family, etc.
The principles behind are:
Col 3:23
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,
Mat 5:16
English Standard Version (©2001)
In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Then this thought came: it would be nice to be served at the best no matter whatever or whoever I am...
Yeah, I ALREADY got the King if Kings' best service sacrifice even though I was a sinner. How could I still envy those things?
Thanks God, now it comes back again. The reason I can do the best service was because I had received it first.

2 Chronicle 6:36-39
36 “When they sin against You (for there is no one who does not sin), and You become angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, and they take them captive to a land far or near; 37 yet when they come to themselves in the land where they were carried captive, and repent, and make supplication to You in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned, we have done wrong, and have committed wickedness’; 38 and when they return to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have been carried captive, and pray toward their land which You gave to their fathers, the city which You have chosen, and toward the temple which I have built for Your name: 39 then hear from heaven Your dwelling place their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive Your people who have sinned against You. 40 Now, my God, I pray, let Your eyes be open and let Your ears be attentive to the prayer made in this place.
V38 Pray toward the temple (like in Jerusalem)
I claimed to try to maximise glorifying God by using even my online time to spread His glory. But I was reluctant to join more prayer group nor to help my priests who is coming abroad to here.
Glad God rebuke me straight away! Praying group is commitment to help others closing to God, not just me in busying myself in too much group. Helping God's servant is just like doing it to God. God will definitely pay it up!
Proverbs 19:17
Whoever is generous to the poor lends to The Lord, and He will repay him for his deed
Hebrews 6:10
For God is not unjust as to overlook your work an the love that you have shown for His name in serving the saints, as you still do.
Dear God, Jesus, Holy Spirit , thanks for all these opportunities open to me. Help me to respond in the way it should be; to please You only. I love You, amen :)
V14 everything comes from You, and we have given You only what comes from Your hand
V17 I know my God, that You test the heart and are pleased with integrity.
V18 keep this desire in the hearts of Your people forever and keep their hearts loyal to You
V28 he died at a good old age, having enjoyed long life, wealth and honor.
Based on 1 Chronicles 24, casting lot is good MAINLY because it shows fairness (impartially) :)
