True fulfillment comes from serving others and showing genuine love and kindness without expecting anything in return.Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, help me to cultivate a spirit of humility and selflessness in my interactions with others. Teach me to value people above my own desires and to show love and compassion in all that I do. May my heart be open to serving those in need and may I always strive to be a better person each day. Amen.
