In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which, when translated, is Dorcas), who was always doing good and helping the
poor. About that time she became sick and died, and her body was washed and placed in an upstairs room. Lydda was near Joppa; so when the disciples heard that Peter was
in Lydda, they sent two men to him and urged him, “Please come at once!”
Acts 9:36-38
![Page 7: Love Service](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081513/56816499550346895dd67249/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Peter went with them, and when he arrived he was taken upstairs to the
room. All the widows stood around him, crying and showing him the robes and other clothing that Dorcas had made
while she was still with them. Peter sent them all out of the room; then he got
down on his knees and prayed.
Acts 9:39-40

Turning toward the dead woman, he said, “Tabitha, get up.” She opened her eyes
and, seeing Peter, she sat up. He took her by the hand and helped her to her feet.
Then he called the believers and the widows and presented her to them alive. This became known all over Joppa, and
many people believed in the Lord.
Acts 9:40-42

It’s curious that we live in an age when much of our economy is built on service,
but there seems to be a decline in personal service to others without employment obligation or financial compensation.

Three Questions1. Am I seizing every opportunity to do
good without expectation of reciprocity?
2. Am I seeking out ways to help those less fortunate?
3. Am I using my talents to serve my church and community?
