Render service with enthusiasm, as to the Lord and not to men and women, knowing that whatever good we do, we will receive the same again from the Lord, whether we are slaves or free.
Ephesians 6:7-8
The word "serve" is in the Bible 25 times, not to mention served, serves, service, and serving and of course the word servant, who we are called to be for the Lord.
Now what does wholeheartedly mean? Wholeheartedly means to be completely and sincerely devoted, determined, or enthusiastic; so that tells me that whatever I do for the Lord I am to do it with all my enthusiasm, energy, and be completely devoted.
I know you are thinking it is hard to add one more thing to our busy lives, but in reality serving God should be the first in our lives; He is most important and we need to show Him our thankfulness for the talents and lives he has given us. We can all make time for ourselves, family and friends so why not make God the top priority in your life.
Show Him what you can do to serve and remember that we are to serve Him not as we serve man and not for recognition but to serve Him because we want to do His works, in secret and because we love Him. No matter if slave or free we will receive what we have given to our Lord, so make sure that you are giving all you can give to be rewarded handsomely and will be given the room He has chosen for us in His house in heaven.
