My Lord and My God

St John 20:28

"Jesus requested a beverage from her," The reference is from the book of John, chapter 4, verse 7. How many of us anticipate Jesus Christ to fulfill our desires, when we should be fulfilling His! We ought to dedicate our life wholeheartedly, devoting our entire selves, rather than relying on Him to fulfill our desires. "You will serve as testimonies to my existence..." (Acts 1:8). This entails leading lives characterized by unwavering and unrestricted dedication to the Lord Jesus, which will bring fulfillment to Him regardless of the places He may direct us to.

Exercise caution towards anything that challenges or undermines your unwavering commitment to Jesus Christ. The primary obstacle to genuine commitment to Jesus is the work we render on His behalf. Serving Him is a simpler task than fully dedicating our lives to Him. The objective of God's divine summons is to fulfill His contentment, rather than only expecting us to perform tasks on His behalf. We are not dispatched to engage in combat on behalf of God, but rather to be utilized by God in His conflicts. Do we prioritize service over our devotion to Jesus Christ Himself?
