Divine Love is expressed in service to God and man. Such service is divine service; it is the grace and activity of Love which make all burdens light. "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me," said Christ Jesus; "for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls" (Matt. 11:29). The life of Christ Jesus was expressed in service to God and man. He is our Way-shower; therefore as Christians we are dedicated to love God and to serve mankind.
Serving is doing good wherever good can be done. It gives buoyancy, strength, joy, and satisfaction. We learn in Christian Science that God is one God and that God is good. There is no good apart from God; thus there is no personal sense of goodness. The limited personal sense of good is a thief because it attempts to possess a goodness apart from God. The belief in personal goodness is the basis of self-importance, self-love, and self-righteousness.
The servant of God reflects complete dominion. The fact that a servant should have dominion at first sight seems anomalous, but when we examine the matter a little closer we see its divine naturalness. One who learns to serve God acts under God's orders. He is obedient to spiritual law in its smallest details.
