Overcoming resistance to social service

Social service defined: readiness to do good to anyone with any kind of need. It is common for love to be preferential in a way that is not based on our quality in the brotherhood of man/siblinghood of humankind. But everything changes when we recognize the spiritual core of our creation as personalities--unique, mysterious, and constant through change--each one a masterpiece of the Creator's art, whom our Father indwells by his spirit.  On this basis we begin to serve with the following motivation: We serve our Father in the persons of those whom he indwells by his spirit. And thus we become ready to serve in a way that reveals God's love and mercy for the whole person.
