As I ponder the Greatness of God and His Salvation through His Son Jesus Christ, I wonder just how many Christians understand His Great Work in their lives? As a Christian I am often reminded by the Holy Spirit how much Jesus suffered for my Redemption. As an individual Christian living within the Body of Christ and struggling to build His Kingdom as the Spirit prods me, I have a sense of His Divine Presence in my life. Here are some of my thoughts recently to try and illuminate my hearts devotion this past week. It is better to understand than to be understood! Better to Love than to be loved! Better to pray than to worry!
It is better to Trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man! It is better to do what Gd says than to simply know what He says! It is better to give than receive. Better to be kind than to be bitter. Better to be smile than to frown. Better to have something in the next life than to have everything in this life! Better to forgive than become bitter! Better to repent than to be able to define repentance! Better to have a contrite heart than one that is proud! Better to keep my mouth shut than to offer a sacrifice of fools! Better to be Thankful to God than to Grumble and complain! O Divine Master help me to sow love where there is hate. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is distrust, Honor! Where there is division, unity! Help me to sow in Righteousness and Reap your Unfailing Love! Help me to comfort the neglected. Bring Truth where there is deceit! Where there is stress, bring Gospel of Peace! O Jesus, help me to see that your Grace is more than sufficient for my weaknesses! Give me a strong desire to seek the lost! Proclaim Freedom to the captives! To stand strong on your Mighty Word! Help me Jesus to forgive as you have forgiven me! Help me to Love what you Love and hate what you hate! May I reflect your Image in the way I live my life, not just in my words! May the Wellspring of Living Waters flow freely from my life! O Gracious and Merciful Savior, make my life a witness of your Glory! Fill me with your Holy Spirit that I may not forget your Word or your Power! Help me to Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness so I will be Filled! Grant all who read this the ability to forsake themselves and Trust in Christ Alone for Eternal Life! Eternal Joy! Eternal Bliss! All in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God! Amen!!
