If God published a newspaper, what would be his headlines? I think you and I might be a little surprised, because what interests God would never interest the publisher of the Journal-Sentinal (our Milwaukee rag) or any other newspaper, for that matter. God’s interests lie in the heart of man. He’s interested in why people serve him. And when people serve him simply because they love him, that becomes a major headline in God’s newspaper: Husband Helps Wife Wash Dishes After Dinner, Eighth-Grader Studies for History Test, Teenage Boy Helps Friend, Stranger Says Thank-You to Store Clerk, Mother Changes Baby’s Diaper for Hundredth Time. These would be the headlines in God’s newspaper. Stories about Christians who just can’t stop serving their Lord and serving the Lord in the most routine and ordinary ways.

These are God’s stories about you and me, stories about our faithful service. Don’t stop serving. Instead, serve in many ways, and serve in the world.

Jesus says in Mark 9, "Anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to Christ will certainly not lose his reward."
