| “If I allow my work to get between my heart and the Master, it will be of little worth. We can only effectually serve Christ as we are enjoying Him, nor is there anyone who can minister Christ with unction, freshness, and power to others, if he be not feeding upon Christ in the secret of his own soul.” |
| This quote brought to mind the verse, “As the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart” (Ephesians 6:6). If our service for Christ does not spring from a love for Him that results from being in His presence, then that service becomes mere activity. It might be very good activity, but it is simply activity. There may be some blessing, as the promise is, “So shall My Word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11). However, there will not be the joy in your own soul, or the fulness of blessing that God intends, both for you and for others. Make sure your heart is engaged in your service for Christ. |
