Ministration, Consideration, Harmony

What are you doing to create harmony in the world? Everyone talks about a desire for peace, yet how many actually take conscious steps each and every day to promote that harmony, either on a local basis or in an international scale? Ask yourself how focused your daily activities are in bringing people together. In order for there to truly be peace each individual must take an active role in ministering to the needs of others. The cause of disharmony is selfishness and greed. Therefore, the key to harmony is unselfishness and consideration of the needs of others at least on an equal footing with the consideration of one’s own needs. Those who are truly remembered for their service to others are those who consistently put the needs of others above their own desires. Consistently ask yourself the question as to whether your actions are primarily self-satisfying or whether they are meant to minister to the needs of others. The answer to that question will let you know whether those actions are promoting harmony and peace in the word or whether you are contributing to the self-centeredness that has been the primary cause of the troubles that are currently facing our world.
