“I tell you the truth,”
he said, “this poor widow has put in more that all the others. All these people
gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she
had to live on.” Luke 21.3,4
These words speak so clearly to
me in a singular context. Right now, as I read them, I am filled with the
reminder and conviction that I want to give my all to Jesus.
What does this mean? I’m not
exactly sure. I also sense that I don’t need to be sure. Not sure of what it
means, that is! What I do need to be sure of, and only this, is that I give
myself wholeheartedly to Him. He knows what He wants of me. I know that I want
Him, and I want Him to take all of me.
I am conscious of the love
affair that I have entered with Jesus. I pray that I will become even more and
more conscious of this love with each passing day.
Love is the key. And this love,
gloriously, is two-way. I am able to receive His love. I gasp when I think how
He hovers and longs to pour out His love upon me. I doubt I will ever
comprehend this! Praise God I do not need to understand, but simply receive.
And as I receive God’s love, so I am fitted to share it. I take in, and I give
out.
At this moment I’m basking in
His love. I needn’t let go of this, but keep on receiving, and sharing. O,
thank You, Lord.
Precious Lord,
I’m so in love with You. And the cry of my heart is to go deeper. Take
me, Lord, I give all of myself to You.
I thank You that You have made me worthy to receive Your love. I pray
that Your love will not stop. I pray also that I can willingly share the love
that You give me. I ask for opportunities, and a willingness to share in the
way in which You would Yourself share.
O, thank You for this love. May it flow, and flourish. I ask this in
Your holy and powerful name. Amen.
