2 Thessalonians 1:11 “… we always pray for you that our God will make you worthy of his calling, and by his power fulfill your every desire to do good and your work produced by faith,”
Are you living a life that is worthy of Christs’ gift of redemption? What are your deepest desires? Are they God’s desire for you?
There are humble individuals among us who live for Jesus, quietly. They don’t preach or attempt to solve every societal issue; instead, they attentively observe God’s guidance.
Then, in a mysterious and gentle way, the Spirit guides them to interact with the hurting world. They speak kindly, heal wounded hearts, address practical needs, and show God’s love. The Holy Spirit takes care of the rest.
Not all of these people have served on a foreign mission field or as preachers. Many of them have just walked worthy of our Savior in their careers, in their families and even when they are just enjoying life. The point is, Jesus is everything to them, so they give Him everything.
These saints share a constant and persistent sorrow. It doesn’t overshadow their days with depression, but it prevents them from forgetting those who refuse God’s Gift.
So, they keep watching and waiting.
What about you?
