the least of these

Visiting the sick is what I do. It's my job. But recognizing that I'm serving Jesus while I'm doing it is another story. If I'm just going through the motions, how can I be engaging God or consequently sharing His love with those whom I serve? I have found that serving those less fortunate is something I have to be very intentional about. If I don't pursue it, it won't get done. And if it doesn't get done, then what am I even here for?
