Serve and Work out of Love

What matters most is that at the end of the day, it is always about your lasting love relationship with the Lord.

The hour is coming when the Lord Jesus will no longer speak to you in figures but He will tell you clearly about the Father (Jn 16:25). For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God (Jn 3:34). Ask the Father in His name and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.

The gift of Jesus is the life that underpins human life. Depth and sincerity of love comes only through spending time in close fellowship with Jesus. His words lead you into a quality of life which gives meaning, hope, and love in all that you do. Nobody else can give what Jesus gives - a full meaning of life, seen in the example of His life. You may have been involved in activities on His behalf and yet neglected your relationship with Him.

Today, the Lord has opened your eyes to the truth regarding your state of mind and heart. Your faith in Jesus often involves grappling with difficult and challenging teachings. Look beyond all things and not think as humans do but always see the light that in Jesus as the risen Christ, all things are for your greater good and benefit. What matters most is that at the end, it is all about your lasting love relationship with the Lord. 

God has a plan for each of us. Even when we don’t understand His plans, we should trust in His wisdom. Miracles had a transformative impact of God’s work through us on the people around us. God imparts spiritual healing and new life that to those who are helpless and dead because of sin. His mighty power can cause unbelievers to turn to Him in saving faith. 

God values the faithful life of His servants. We should always express our gratitude for all the benefifts that He has done towards us and acknowledge that everything we have is a gift from God. It is important to keep our promises and commitments to serve God and to continue to seek His help.

Let us follow Jesus all the way until the very last breath we have as mortals. To follow Him means to sacrifice here on earth. To follow Him means to live with humility and service to everyone. To be happy even with little things and to glorify the name of the Lord our Savior.

Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
