GOD Wants, Not So Much Your Work, But You.

It is easier to offer GOD a few easy activities

(J.R. Miller)

"My son, give me your heart"
Proverbs 23:26

"They first gave themselves 
to the LORD" 2 Corinthians 8:5

GOD wants, not so much your work,

but you; at least He wants you first--

and then your work. Service from hearts

which are not really consecrated to GOD,

is not pleasing to HIM.

We are in danger of forgetting this in

our busy, bustling periods. It is easier 

to offer GOD a few easy activities--

than to give HIM our heart. 

The tendency of the religious life 

at present is to work and to serve--

rather than to love GOD. So we need 

to remind ourselves continually, that 

loving must come before doing and 

serving. The largest and most noticeable 

work will find no acceptance with GOD--

if our hearts are not HIS.
