Something to Ponder

Do You Really Love Him?

By Oswald Chambers

If what we call love doesn’t take us beyond ourselves, it is not really love. If we have the idea that love is characterized as cautious, wise, sensible, shrewd, and never taken to extremes, we have missed the true meaning. This may describe affection and it may bring us a warm feeling, but it is not a true and accurate description of love. Have you ever been driven to do something for God not because you felt that it was useful or your duty to do so, or that there was anything in it for you, but simply because you love Him? Have you ever realized that you can give things to God that are of value to Him? Or are you just sitting around daydreaming about the greatness of His redemption, while neglecting all the things you could be doing for Him? I’m not referring to works which could be regarded as divine and miraculous, but ordinary, simple human things— things which would be evidence to God that you are totally surrendered to Him. Have you ever created what Mary of Bethany created in the heart of the Lord Jesus? “She has done a good work for Me.” There are times when it seems as if God watches to see if we will give Him even small gifts of surrender, just to show how genuine our love is for Him. To be surrendered to God is of more value than our personal holiness. Concern over our personal holiness causes us to focus our eyes on ourselves, and we become overly concerned about the way we walk and talk and look, out of fear of offending God. “…but perfect love casts out fear…” once we are surrendered to God (1 John 4:18). We should quit asking ourselves, “Am I of any use?” and accept the truth that we really are not of much use to Him. The issue is never of being of use, but of being of value to God Himself. Once we are totally surrendered to God, He will work through us all the time.
Scripture Thought for the Day
She has done a good work for Me. —Mark 14:6
Comments
Dick & Dottie: We will be happy to receive Larry’s latest book he is preparing. We are always amazed at the insight God gives him. Truth is certainly progressive and always fresh and meaningful at the right time. In Christian love & appreciation.
Diana A.: This email is way overdue. I receive an email called the Wake Up Report from you and have been receiving it for many years. I love it. I wait for it and reread each copy. I am now reading an older copy 2012 of “Jesus' existence before he came to earth". Your letters are so informative and with the WORD. I must thank you so much. I am homebound and only wish to receive any other mailings besides this one also. I am ill and you have no way of knowing that. I do not leave the house and all I do most of the day for hours is read Christian newsletters, books, and pamphlets that I receive from only a few ministries that have been so good to me. I just wish I had a copy of Jesus' Crucifixion, I know that there is a timeline and I think you sent me one once. I am extremely organized but being ill, I have it in one of my loose leaves...I have extreme pain in my spinal cord, therefore, bending down gets to me bad. But thank you so very, very, much for all you have sent to me over the years. Bless all of you. God is smiling as you disciple to the world. Your Sister in Christ.
Ben: Sorry to hear you've lost your voice. Will be praying for you.
Felix: We should be praying specifically for healing on behalf of Larry. I am - James 5:15
