AL 2:20{Out of the realized "for me" grows the practical "for Thee." If the former is a living root, the latter will be its living fruit. "For Thee!" This makes the difference between forced or formal, and therefore unreasonable service, and the reasonable service, which is the beginning of the perfect service where they see His face. This makes the difference between slave work and free work. For Thee, my Redeemer; for Thee who hast spoken to my heart; for Thee, who hast done for me—what? Let us each pause, and fill up that blank with the great things the Lord hath done for us. For Thee, who art to me—what? Fill that up, too, before Him! For Thee, my Savior Jesus, my Lord and my God!
Help us lovingly to labor, looking for Thy present smile,
Looking for Thy promised blessing, thro' the brightening "little while.”
Words for Thee in weakness spoken, Thou wilt here accept and own,
And confess them in Thy glory, when we see Thee on Thy throne.
