Service
I joyfully serve others.
Unity’s Fifth Basic Principle simply says, “Knowing the spiritual Truth is not enough, it must be lived.”
I intentionally develop my spiritual life by reading, studying, praying and meditating. I know spiritual understanding is not enough, so I am an active part of my spiritual community. I find ways to joyfully serve others.
Any act of kindness is a form of service. It might be volunteering to help the poor and it also could be mowing a neighbor’s lawn, letting someone ahead in the grocery line, or carpooling with children. Service ranges from full-time care giving to something as simple as listening. Anything I do to make life a little easier for another is service. I see opportunities to serve as soon as I look for them. Service is a spiritual practice.
I joyfully serve others.
