Christian Service Reflection Paper
The nature of the Christian Service is the act of doing work for God with a willing heart. Many religious people think that "Christian service" signifies Christian usefulness: to be a regular attender at church, to pray, and a contributor to its finances. Also, to become a teacher of a class, or a leader of young people's society, to engage in evangelistic activities and do personal work. And tell others what Christ means to you.

I personally think that providing service for a charitable or non-profit organization was the perfect way to discover something that I'm really good at and to develop and discover hidden talents/skills that helped me to change my view on my self worth and develop new friendships throughout the entire service. I also found out that there are many benefits to doing community service that made me realize that I can use to my advantage. Participating in this activity helped me to be more engaged in community organizations. During the experience, I felt like I could make a difference. Volunteering my time gave me the opportunity to meet and work with people that I thought I'd never have the opportunity to meet. Spending time with a group of volunteers also helped me to expand my social skills and expose me to new things. It helped me to grow as a person by developping a more compassionate feeling towards the less fortunate.
