Nothing in His smile of recompense for any poor bit of service you are trying to do for Him?
Nothing! in “Well done, good and faithful servant?”
Nothing! in God’s approval as you enter the glory and the “new name” being written (a secret between you and Christ)?
Nothing! in the thought, that’s the one who bears all the effulgence of the light that dazzles, and I can look at it, and no need of the sun, because He is the one who gave Himself for me, to bring me there, able to gaze with undazzled eyes? He hiding not a single ray of His glory. (John 17:22-2322And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. (John 17:22‑23)).
But deeper still in connection with His own blessed person, will it be nothing to see Him perfectly glorified, who is rejected and despised, and, alas, how poorly represented by those who are His?
Nothing! to be there, and see Him enjoying the fruit of the travail of His soul, perfectly satisfied?
Nothing! to see the Man who was the Man of Sorrows here, and who suffered all for us, in the brightness of the glory of God? Infinitely more blessed than all He has to give me!
