Hello Everyone,
When we look to Jesus as our example it would be good to look at His approach to things.
…he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. John 5:19b
"We are laborers together with God." -1 Corinthians 3:9 (KJV)
Jesus said: “For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11:30
We also see Jesus’ appreciation of things – John5:20
For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, to your amazement he will show him even greater things than these.
Jesus knew that all the Father wanted to do through Him was centered around a love relationship. The same is true for us."The person who has my commands and keeps them is the one who (really) loves me; and whoever (really) loves me will be loved by my Father, and I (too) will love him and will show (reveal, manifest) myself to him. (I will let myself be clearly seen by him and make myself real to him.) - John 14:21 (Amplified)As I focus on my love relationship with Jesus, I will come to see him more clearly; and as I see him more clearly, I will know how and where to walk with Him; and as I walk and work with Him in obedience to His call, my love relationship with Him will grow even deeper!The question is not "What does God want me to do for Him?" but "What does God want me to do with Him?’
It’s not, "Lord bless what I am doing," but "God, let me do what You are blessing!"
Let’s not make the mistake the church at Ephesus did:
"You have forsaken your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first." - Revelation 2:4-5 (NIV)
God the Father wants us to “Experience Him” in a Personal Love Relationship.
Oh How HE Loves Us!
