0039. Standing Complete in the Will of God

Standing Complete in the Will of God

"He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me" (Joh_14:21).

We should hold nothing back from God. We should have no reserve, no dread, no fear in following our Lord fully.

No matter where God leads, we must be willing to go.

If He tears up our nest, we will trust and not be afraid.

If He leads us into the place of quietude, where our life is not as loud as we might have planned; if He leads us into the place of suffering, where our life might not be as long as we had planned; if He leads us into the place of smaller things, where our life might not be as large as we had planned; still, let us rejoice and stand complete in His will.

It is only the life that does the will of God that abides forever.

It is only the life that works in Him down here that will receive His "well done" up there.

Who will go all the way with God?

"Jesus, I my cross have taken,

All to leave and follow Thee;

Naken, poor, despised, forsaken,

Thou, from hence, my all shalt be.

"Perish every fond ambition,

All I’ve sought, or hoped, or known,

Yet how rich is my condition!

God and Heaven are still my own."
