Archangel Gabriel: From Martyred Service to Joyful Service
- Details
- Written by Shelley Young

It is quite common for enlightening human beings to think that they aren’t doing enough in terms of their service.
This is due to having a high level of diligence and commitment, but also from old conditioning that is based on the martyred service paradigm.
We understand it can be difficult to understand from your perspective, but your greatest contributing service occurs from your own growth and evolution. As you enlighten you shift, transmute, and anchor energy. You assist the planet and the energetic grids in so many ways. As you move forward in your own process, you access new and inspired ways you can be of service to others, as well.
Further, because you have been self-responsible, you become far more balanced and actuated, which allows you to be of the greatest assistance to others, both by being a powerful teacher by example, but also by being able to assume the role of guide on earth through your love, wisdom, and compassion.
One of the biggest challenges for those who are on the planet to be of service (this means everyone on their own enlightenment journey) is to shift from martyred service to joyful service. This means releasing the idea of having to carry the weight of the world on your own shoulders, or that service is hard and requires great sacrifice, and moving into the new model of it being comfortable, joyful, and a beautiful cooperative effort of many souls, all with the same heart-centered agenda.
If you are ever unsure that you are doing enough, simply surrender into being of your highest service and trust that whatever shows up is the perfect way for you to contribute that day, even if all you did was stay home and hold the space. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
