Living and Loving From His Lap

12/31/1998

The most unhappy people in the world are the ones who live only for themselves. All that they do, they do only for their own sake. For these self-centered individuals, the most precious thing in the world is their “self.” Like a cancer that eats and destroys its own cells, the self-centered individual is slowly dying inwardly. (KP Yohannen, from India)

...AND THEN THERE IS JESUS, living His Life through those that abandon themselves to Him! Oh so different!!! “Life that is truly life”—requiring NOTHING to make us happy or inspire us to give, except that we are in His lap. Then NOTHING the physical or emotional realm can throw at us can steal our joy, or cause us to pull back, or detain us from our PURPOSE of loving others and, in so doing, showing our love and gratitude to Him. We will not be unstable or unreliable or less than kind and sacrificial in our lives, when HE is living in us and through us. This is the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM! 9:06 p.m.
