Pensamento:
Não conseguimos servir mais, amar mais ou dar mais do que Jesus. Ele anseia nos abençoar. Ele anseia derramar as riquezas dos céus e graça sobre nos. E, incrivelmente, ele anseia nos honrar. Quando nossas vidas terminarem, Deus o Pai, Senhor do universo, honrara todos que serviram seu Filho e abençoaram outros no nome de Jesus! Inacreditável! Não, e mais um exemplo da incrível graça de Deus!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We can't out-serve, out-love, or out-give Jesus. He longs to bless us. He longs to pour out heaven's riches and grace upon us. Even more incredibly, he longs to honor us as his friends and younger brothers and sisters in God's family. When our lives are over, God the Father, Lord of the entire universe, will honor all who have served his Son and blessed others in Jesus' name! Jesus promised that the Father would bring us home to Himself, who will honor us! Unbelievable? No! It's just another example of God's incredible grace given to us in Jesus. And Jesus promised us:
Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.
Oração:
Amoroso Pai e Santo Deus, por favor ajude-me a seguir a vontade de Jesus e servir outros no seu nome. Pai, eu sei que não mereço sua graça, mas quero servir outros no nome de Jesus e ajudá-los a achar sua graça. No nome do Senhor Jesus eu oro. Amem. || Veja a imagem: http://www.iluminalma.com/img/il_joao12_26.html
My Prayer...
Loving Father and Holy God, please help me follow the will of Jesus, obey his teachings, and serve others as he did when he was on earth. Father, I know I cannot earn your grace, but I want to follow Jesus. I want to serve others in his name. I want to help them find your grace in Jesus, too. So, I pray this in his name to honor you. Amen.
