God lives and works today.
This is much more than just a statement
of faith.
We can and should experience His reality in
our everyday lives, in the midst of our
strains and burdens.
The following program by Basilia Schlenk will tell
us how.
My greatest joy is that I belong to
Jesus and no longer to myself.
Yes, Jesus belongs to me and I to
Him.
The Apostle Paul writes about such a relationship
in the seventh chapter of Romans.
Everything depends upon our maintaining and strengthening our
relationship with Jesus.
For only out of this relationship can our
lives bear lasting fruit.
Therefore, no question in our lives is as
important as the one, Do I strive to
be close to Jesus?
Do I use every free minute to come
to Him in prayer?
If I love a person and belong to
him in marriage, the whole marriage will fall
apart if there is no longer any communication
between us.
Love is missing and the marriage is virtually
dead, destroyed.
Nothing more can come of a marriage when
the partners don't strive to communicate.
According to the words of the Apostle Paul,
we are called to love Jesus and to
bear the fruit that comes from this relationship.
What a wonderful opportunity!
We need only establish contact with Jesus, who
is life itself.
Through this unity, our lives will bear fruit,
and from this relationship will flow streams of
divine life.
Oh, none can be loved as is Jesus.
None like Him is found anywhere.
To see whom I love, whom I live
for, for no one without.
Therefore, if you are someone who easily becomes
lost in your work or in the hectic
pace of daily life, ask yourself, Have I
lost contact with Jesus?
Actually, the more you are in danger of
being rushed, the more you need to guard
your relationship with Him.
Otherwise, you will become absorbed in your work
and your life will bear no fruit for
Jesus.
Therefore, when you are working, pause ever anew
to speak words of love to Jesus.
For example, I can
only say one thing.
By calling upon Jesus and by keeping contact
with Him, all my work problems have been
solved.
All my decisions have been made, and fruit
has come.
Keep step with Thee always.
I'll leave Thee nevermore.
My love doth me constrain.
Close by Thee to remain, to work and
rest in love.
