When we suffer, God is very near to us, drawing purpose out of our pain and transforming it into his own beautiful goodness.
Most importantly, we should ask ourselves “who.” Who am I seeking?
This Labor Day, let’s take some time to be re-created with God’s own rest and playfulness. That way, whatever we face the next day, we can begin again with all the zest and zeal of God himself.
In reality, true greatness lies in loving obedience to God’s will, no matter how mundane it might seem at the time.
The joy our servers experienced on Monday was the fruit of their giving something, indeed, giving themselves, over to Jesus. The prospect of holding nothing back from our good Lord is often intimidating. But if we begin by committing ourselves to the little sacrifices that love demands of us on a daily basis, we will find our fears melting away and the impossible acts of love become not only possible, but desirable.
The concept of kingship can be somewhat foreign to our modern mindset, but it signifies total sovereignty and a duty of complete allegiance. In that sense, Jesus’s lordship over our lives is a binary choice: he either rules our hearts entirely, or not at all; we either belong to him altogether, or not at all.
