Serve with Gladness

1 Shout triumphantly to the Lord, all the earth. 2 Serve the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs. 3 Acknowledge that the Lord is God. He made us, and we are His   — His people, the sheep of His pasture. 4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and praise His name. 5 For the Lord is good, and His love is eternal; His faithfulness endures through all generations.
Psalms 100:1-5 (HCSB)

Thankfulness and gladness should characterize the Christ followers life.  For some service is a drudgery.  We serve out of a sense of obligation.  But for the Christ follower we should serve out of thankfulness and gladness because He is so good.  He is good.  His love has no limits.  He is faithful.  What a great God we serve!
