DON’T GIVE BLESSINGS ALONE
Don’t give us blessings- give us grace to be unquestionably obedient to Your every last command and desire. Don’t give us status- give us a place to serve. Don’t give us things for our use- use us. Don’t give us a mansion to live in- give us a springboard to take Christ’s love to the whole world. Don’t give us good jobs–put us to work. Don’t give us pleasure–give us perspective. Don’t give us satisfaction–teach us sacrifice. Don’t give us entertainment– enable us. Don’t give us good salaries- give us strength to do Your will. Our great joy in life is in pleasing our Lord- and there is no other joy comparable. Gordon Aeschliman, editor of World Christian Magazine, quoted by Paul A. Cedar in Strength in Servant Leadership, pg. 42
