Morning Pages

As one of Jesus' followers when I read this devotional by Anne Graham Lotz this morning I was struck by the fact that I really want this to be my prayer as I continue to learn to follow Him. I want to serve Him and by serving Him serve others, my husband, my children, my grandchildren, my extended family, my friends, my students, my co-workers with this in mind that Nothing more than being with and doing for Jesus matters!


Jesus encouraged His disciples by promising, "where I am, my servant also will be." There is nothing in this world that I desire more than the presence of Jesus in my life.
Nothing . . .
not houses or honors or health,
not cars or careers or children,
not money or marriage or ministry,
not fame or family or freedom,
not promotion or pleasures or position,
not strength or success,
not ability or achievement,
not even love or life itself.
Nothing!

Constantly striving to be In His Arms, B.
