To Serve God Well

 

You are feeling noble and high-minded: you are announcing to God and the world that you are dedicating your life to the service of God. A note of caution: if you do not serve God well and in the right way, you may make things worse for God and for the chanced of heavenly destination for your immortal soul.

 

The best thing to do is quit hating oneself, others, and God, and that is a start in the right direction. If you commence to love yourself, others, and God, now you are serving God well and in the right manner.

 

Second, you are never to assume the approach of a martyred true believer willing to die or be martyred, or to torture or murder religious rivals and unbelievers so compel them to agree with your religious beliefs.

 

Third, you could maverize: as a living angel that has dedicated your life and accomplishments as a living sacrifice to God, you have pledged and expanded your talents, bringing to life and impressive improvement, your raw talents, your natural creative bent.

 

Fourth, you must reject living a lie. Just remember that God loves free speech, but careful, thoughtful speech, truthful, rational, compelling, and clear. You call a spade a spade. You rebuff any temptation to rationalize giving into any temptation that you are inclined to indulge in. You admit what you have done right, where you are in error, and what you are seeking to do about it all.

 

Fifth, how you speak, think and act, after you have proclaimed that you are holy, righteous, and devoted to God, will be heavily scrutinized by skeptical neighbors. No matter which good deity that you worship, your responsibility is always the same: do not embarrass God but reflect well on God. When you slip, and you will, ask for forgiveness, seek to learn from your mistakes and to do better in the future.
