Forget Yourself in the Service of God

He who forgets himself in the service of God may be sure that God will not forget him.

How infinitely blessed it is to be entirely Christ’s. To think that you and I are never to have another care or another fear, but that Jesus has undertaken simply everything for us! And isn’t it grand to have the privilege of being His instruments? It does seem such loving condescension that He should use us.
