We Are Called To Serve

When I realize my worthlessness before the Lord, He lifts me up and encourages and helps me (James 4:10 Phillips).

When we love each other God lives in us and His love within us grows ever stronger (1 John 4:12). We need have no fear of someone who loves us perfectly. His perfect love for us eliminates all dread of what He might do to us. If we are afraid, it is for fear of what He might do to us — and shows that we are not fully convinced that He really loves us (1 John 4:18).

Lord, Your Word says: “You know these things — now do them! That is the path of blessing” (John 13:17). I need to keep on patiently doing Your will if I want You to do for me all that You promise (Hebrews 10:26). Lord Jesus, as I obey Your commandment – to love one another – the darkness in my life disappears and the new light of Your life in me shines through (John 2:8). Teach me to be radiant for You!

So now, O God, grant to Your servants great boldness in preaching, and send Your healing power, and grant that many miracles and wonders be done by the name of Your holy servant Jesus (Acts 4:29-30).
