Serving Christ, A Letter

Faithful, God-glorifying service to Christ truly is the best this life can give.

I read a quote from Samuel Rutherford this morning that I found helpful:

"Venture through the thick of all things after Christ, and lose not your Master, Christ, in the throng of this great market."

This helped me in my meditations today, as I remembered The Lords' words:

"seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness"

and the following proverbs:

"In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths."

"Commit thy works unto The Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established."

I want to serve Him with thankfulness, in my single estate. I want to submit to His wise, loving, inerrant, fatherly will, in all things. I'm actually glad that He's left me single at this particular moment in time. I desire a wife, but I'm content with Christ, and can trust Him to provide, if it be His will. He's also shown Himself able to sustain me amid temptation, and deliver me from evil. This Gospel proclaims help for the helpless, and it's worth believing, living for, walking in the light of, and publishing to the world.

So, it's all good. I was remarking to a female coworker today how I was glad to not have a valentine this year. I probably wouldn't have been able to afford my new laptop (to help with the preaching of The Gospel). 


Peace, bro.
