“Be a Vessel of His Love!”
by Dona Hake
Yesterday we meditated upon the health of our Lord’s countenance being upon us. Oh that we would desire that His countenance would shine and flow through us! Walking in God’s love is what we will meditate upon today. Let us look at being willing vessels that He may cause His great love to flow from.
God is looking for us to put feet to His love, and exhibit His ways to a lost and dying world. He is desiring that we put action to that which we know we should do. There is a scripture that says, “In Him I live and move and have my being.” Acts 17:28 He so desires that bring His Word to life. You know…you may be the only Bible that one ever reads. There are those that need His love and we need to avail ourselves to Him that He can flow through us.
We must remember that there will be times that He may call upon us to help people, and He may just call upon us to go one more mile than what we initially intended. Many times His love will stretch us, and that is a very good thing. It is in those times that His love will be shown in a wonderful way, and we too will grow as we give of ourselves. I think it is a good thing for all of us to be pulled away from our comfort zone, and put in a place we have to rely on Him to help us to do things we never thought were possible!
Today let us rejoice in knowing that He desires to use us as vessels of His great love. Let us position ourselves for unexpected opportunities of doing works that are birthed from His great love in Jesus Name!
1 John 3:18-19 (ERV)
“My children, our love should not be only words and talk.
No, our love must be real.
We must show our love by the things we do.
That’s how we know we belong to the way of truth.”
