'And whatever you do in word or deed--all in the name of the Lord Jesus.' 'Do' does not belong there. There is more than doing in life. Thinking, speaking, hoping, planning, dreaming--all are to be in the name of the Lord Jesus. His love and life are to color and shape our ambitions and accomplishments. In Him, as a plant in soil, in rain, and in sunshine, we are to live, growing up by Him and into Him. In His name we are to work, to play, to suffer, to rejoice, and at last, to go home. It is only another way of saying, 'For me, to live is Christ.'

ReplyDelete"There is more than doing in life."
ReplyDeleteThis line stood-out from me from this entire quote. How very true. There is more than just "doing something." I am slowly learning this, and it's helping me to feel less overwhelmed.
So true, thanks for sharing these precious words. what a beautiful print.
