TRUE SUCCESS

I would bet that you are caught in the same trap

that I often am.  We are not satisfied with the results

of our service for God.  He has done so much for me

and I want to do more for him.

Consider this.

One time Jesus Christ sent out seventy "preachers".

Things went great for them.  They came back a happy

bunch.  We read:

"The seventy returned with joy saying, 'Lord, even

the demons are subject to us in Your name.'"

(Luke 10:12 NASB)     

   Can you top that?

Of course you can not or have not.  If you had you 

would have let the world know about it.

But how did Jesus respond?

"Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits

are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are

recorded in heaven."

(Luke 10:20 NASB)

Do you catch that?

Christ is more concerned about our relationship

with him than our service for him.

I need to spend more time loving him and

less "slaving" for him.
