To live selflessly.
Every thought, action, word to be carried out for the sole purpose of others.
To love unconditionally. To love without asking to be loved in return.
To give with no ulterior motives, never expecting acknowledgement.
To leave yourself as an open option, a friend, ready to listen, comfort and advise. To risk the heart twinge of not being chosen. To accept being second, third, fourth with a confident smile.
And to do all this cheerfully, as if it's second nature. Not forced like it's an obligation, a chore.
Rather, it's a welcome joy. To relish in the chance to play the smallest role in God's kingdom.
But it's hard.
