Rejoice.
Rejoice not so much in victories as in the fact that I am leading.
Praise Me.
Not so much for My blessings as for My love that prompts them.
Serve Me with gladness,
not for the ultimate nor present reward,
but for the thrill of knowing that we labor together;
that I stand beside you in every enterprise, however trivial.~ Frances J. Roberts Come Away My Beloved
This is where I’m trying to get to. In this thought is the "
everything" that God asks of me. In this thought is the “
nothing” that God requires of me for the thrill of participating with him.
Everything that goes into a life of pleasing God has been miraculously given to us by getting to know, personally and intimately, the One who invited us to God. 2 Peter 1:3 (The Message)
