We should do this because He is our Father who is infinite in wisdom and love. He demonstrated His love for us when He came as our Redeemer and sacrificed His life so that we (who betrayed Him and were unfaithful to Him) may have His life. We can surrender our will to Him by doing what we think is according to His will; and in our heart be willing to accept whatever result He gives us. This frees us of anxiety and selfishness. 2) Sacrifice our own interest in the process of serving others. This will enable us to love our enemies; treat all human beings as equal, irrespective of their status in life or developmental stage; unconditionally forgive others; and stay faithful to our covenant even when there is betrayal and unfaithfulness. 3) Serve others selflessly and seek no reward for acts of love. Furthermore we should consider the opportunity to serve others as an honor and a gift from God. We must do the following to achieve the above mentioned goals 1) Develop intense love for God through prayers; meditation on Jesus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, we must try to be like Jesus in our thoughts, words and actions. 2) Remove all distractions from our life, so that we can hear God's voice in the silence of our heart.
