God lives and works today.
This reality is experienced above all by people
who love Him.
Love for God contains an immeasurable strength, for
it unites us with the Almighty Creator of
the whole universe.
If you are longing to have this love
in your life, listen to today's meditation by
Basilia Schlink called, The Mightiest Power.
Oh, none can be loved as is Jesus.
None like Him is found anywhere.
Tis He, whom I love, whom I live
for.
One, oh, one with Him can compare.
So all that I have, I will give
Him.
I'll sacrifice all I hold dear.
My whole life to Jesus belong me.
My heart seeks my Lord to reveal.
What power lies hidden in love for Jesus?
For whoever is united with Him can do
everything.
Therefore, if we do everything for the love
of Jesus, even peeling potatoes or standing at
the same machine day after day, and continually
say, Out of love for you, Jesus, then
our work will have far-reaching effects, greater
than we can imagine.
Thus the simplest work can bring forth fruit
because it's filled with everlasting power.
It is only fellowship with Jesus that can
give this eternal value to a piece of
work.
Why?
Because love is the greatest power in the
world.
Spiritual atomic power lies in union with Jesus.
Even if a man is ill, bedridden, and
seemingly inactive, he can accomplish great far-reaching
feats for the kingdom of God.
Yes, if he will only do and suffer
everything in union with Jesus, he will bring
forth rich fruit for eternity.
It has become my daily prayer as I
awaken in the morning.
Jesus, let me do everything today together with
you, working, speaking, thinking.
Don't let me be separated from you today.
Holy Spirit, admonish me when I cease to
abide in Jesus.
Amen.
I know that our lives can be fruitful
only when we live in fellowship with Jesus.
Gladly for Thee, dear Lord, what Thou dost
ask I'll give, and never rest until how
Thou dost bid I live, Thy holy will
fulfill me.
Therefore, do not get lost in your everyday
work and business, but lose yourself in work
with your innermost heart set on Jesus, living
in His presence, abiding in Him.
Then your work will follow you into eternity,
and you will reap a rich harvest from
it.
Gladly for Thee, dear Lord, and for Thine
goodness' sake, all that Thou wilt I'll do,
Thy greater glory make the aim of all
my living.
