Be it community building, participating in devotional gatherings, empowering youth and junior youth, teaching spiritual education for children, praying for someone, social and economic development, or engaging through social action and public discourse, service is considered the highest calling in the Bahá’í Faith. Service to humanity uplifts the soul, brings joy, and draws blessings to individuals and communities.
There is nothing that brings success in the Faith like service. Service is the magnet which draws the divine confirmations. Thus, when a person is active, they are blessed by the Holy Spirit. When they are inactive, the Holy Spirit cannot find a repository in their being, and thus they are deprived of its healing and quickening rays.
