DAILY DEVOTION - 24 OCTOBER 2020

Good morning. Peace be with you all. Rejoice in the Lord always. "The love of Christ constraineth us." 2 Corinthians 5:14.

Insight

How much do you have to thank God for? Has He ever done anything for you? Has He forgiven your sins? Has He covered you with a robe of righteousness? Has He set your feet upon a rock? Has He established your goings? Has He prepared heaven for you? Has He prepared you for heaven? Has He written your name in His book of life? Has He given you countless blessings? Has He laid up for you a store of mercies, which eye has not seen nor ear heard? Then do something for Jesus worthy of His love. Don’t give a mere worldly offering to your risen Redeemer. How will you feel when your Master comes, if you have to confess that you did nothing for Him, but kept your love shut up, like a stagnant pool, neither helping the poor or refusing to study and spread His Living Word. Who will accept a love so weak that it does not actuate you to a single deed of self-denial, of generosity, of heroism, or zeal! Think how He has loved you, and given Himself for you! Do you know the power of that love? Then let it be like a rushing mighty wind to your soul to sweep out the clouds of your worldliness, and clear away the mists of sin. "For Christ's sake" may the divine Holy Spirit fill you all and make you bold as lions and swift as eagles in your Lord's service.

Challenge

Love should give wings to the feet of service, and strength to the arms of labour. Stay fixed on God with a passion that is not to be shaken, resolute to honour God

with a determination that is not to be turned aside, and pressing on with an ardour never to be wearied, let us manifest the constraints of love to Jes

us. May the divine loadstone draw us heavenward towards itself. May God bless and protect you all. In

Jesus mighty name. Amen.
