Jesus: Our One Thing

“With all this going for us, my dear, dear friends, stand your ground. And don’t hold back. Throw yourselves into the work of the Master, confident that nothing you do for him is a waste of time or effort.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:58‬ ‭MSG‬‬

Lord,
Don’t let anything distract us...let every seeming hindrance cause us to be ever more focused on who Jesus is and what He’s done. That what you want for our lives is what we focus on and what we love for passionately. That we’d live with a focus and clarity on one thing: Christ’s outrageous love for us! That we’d live for an audience of One!! That we’d:

1. “Stand our ground.” Occupy the ground that’s been given to us.
2. “Don’t hold back.” That all we are would be given full-heartedly and willingly for what burdens Your heart.
3. “Throw yourself into the work of the master.” That 100% of me would be given 100% of the time! That Jesus would be the all-encompassing one. The audience of ONE I live for. The lover I can’t wait to enjoy and work alongside. Nothing held back. Nothing restrained. Nothing contained. No margin. That all my chips would be on the table for the ONE who put all the chips on the table for me.
4. “Confident that nothing done for You is a waste of time or effort.” That I would give with a certainty of the return on my investment. That I would lavish my energies on the things that weigh on Your heart. That I would love in a manner that speaks loudly of my confidence in Your promises that are yes and amen. That every ounce of my life invested is more than worth the investment!!

Jesus,
Help me. Help us. Help us live whole-heartedly. Fully-alive. Fully present. Nothing hidden. Cause us to live lives that SHOUT that Jesus is our only treasure. And if Jesus is our only treasure, we have nothing to lose; nothing to hide; and nothing to prove. So, we can love with an abandon. We can pour out our love on others as You have so lavishly and scandalously poured out on us.

Let us live with absolute thankful hearts today!

For, we sure do love you️!
