Much of what we do each day is about
ourselves. The 'me' focus can become its own idol and lead us astray from the
true path of life. If we are not allowing the Spirit to break through our
stubborn and selfish thoughts and actions we are missing out, especially in
terms of our ministry and witness to this world.
Abide in Him…for He is faithful….and He is
able!
"I seem as if the
first glimmers of the dawn of a glorious day has risen upon me…I seem to have
supped only that which can fully satisfy. To let my loving Saviour work in me
His will…abiding, not striving or struggling, looking off unto Him, trusting
Him for present power…resting in the love of an almighty Saviour in the joy of
a complete salvation. Not striving to have faith, or to increase my faith but
looking at the faithful one seems all we need. A resting in the Loved One
entirely, for time, for eternity. It does not appear to me as anything new,
only formerly misunderstood."
John McCarthy; missionary with China Inland
Missions, 1869
I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who
live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live
by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. Galatians 2:20
