What do you serve today?

I continue to ponder this idea of abundance and love. Michael Beckwith in his book Spiritual Liberation often affirms that God qualities are the order of the day in his embodiment prayers. Wholeness is the order of the day. Peace is the order of the day. Beauty is the order of the day. Then he dedicates himself to serving those qualities.

What I find so powerful is the suggestion that at any moment we can choose what we will serve. We know that serving materialism and fear does not work. We do not create the experience we desire. So, as we approach Valentine's Day and we go further into our discussion on abundance, what if we decide to serve different God qualities? What would it look like to serve abundance or peace? Who would we need to become to make those ideas the order of our beings and consequently the order of our day? I believe more and more that as we shift our paradigms from getting to giving by serving the very qualities we desire, we will in fact, create the experience we so long for.
