Mormonism: Service
Matthew 22:37-39 in the New Testament:
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Mosiah 2:17 in the Book of Mormon:
17 And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God.
Benefits of Service
Not only does service obviously benefit the recipient, but service also greatly benefits the server. Mormonism teaches that giving service to others helps one forget one's own problems by seeing the difficulties and needs of others. Also, service brings the Spirit of Christ into one's heart -- that good feeling we receive inside. Sincere service develops love for the person we serve which love we can maintain in our hearts.

Lessons Learned as a Boy
Mormonism has taught me service my whole life. I feel good about myself and the way I spend my daily efforts when I give useful service to others. I'm grateful for opportunities to use my abilities and talents to help others -- it makes my life meaningful! Without Mormonism principles and learning of Christ's examples my life would be much more self-serving and less rewarding.
