This is not intended to provide theological teaching, just a merely insight on my own situation. This probably differs from people to people and situation to situation.
Serve because it's needed?
Serve because you love, not because it's needed?
Which one do you think you are?
This comes into my mind when I was talking a solitary walk tonight.
As we know, we serve not because God need us, but because we need.
When I serve in particular area because nobody do it, I don't really feel the happiness from serving. But when I serve because I love God, I love the church, and see what I can do, I'm joyful, in happy.
This is actually comparable to what you do to your lover. You do things for lover not necessarily because it's needed, but because you want to show your love. That's basically same analogy about serving God, serving church, serving people.
