In Peter's scripture, he says that we have to "let our love for one another be intense".

He is saying that when we are helping people you don't want to look like you are not dedicated to it or that you are bored doing it and you just want to leave. You have to be intense when you help people. You have to act and be excited to go out and help others and not just do it becasue someone asked you to or that you are being forced by someone else because they need you to. You have to want to help people to get something out of it. If you don't want to help then you won't want to do it more, but when you feel that you are making a difference you will want to help as much as possible.

He wouldn't want us to use what he gave us to do bad things so we have to use these gifts to go out and help others as He would want us to do.

The Christian call to service is to help people in the name of God. If you do things for Him you will be able to do it even better than doing it just for yourself or for someone else. If you do it for Him, then it will also turn out better than if it were for someone else. We can carry it out by going to placed that need more volunteers and more help, but do it because you want to and your work won't seem like work, it will be something that you want to keep doing and then even more people can have better lives and better their families. If you do it because you want to help other people to make their lives
