Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
God’s purpose is that we live for Him.
If Christ is in us and we in Him, we will show our love for Him by allowing the Holy Spirit to enable us to live for Him.
We can’t live for Him without the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Then watch all things work together for our good.
Living For Jesus
________________________
Living for Jesus, a life that is true, — Striving to please Him in all that I do; — Yielding allegiance, glad hearted and free, — This is the pathway of blessing for me.
CHORUS:
O Jesus, Lord and Savior, — I give myself to Thee, — For Thou, in Thy atonement, — Didst give Thyself for me. — I own no other master, — My heart shall be Thy throne. — My life I give, henceforth to live, — O Christ, for Thee alone.
Living for Jesus who died in my place, — Bearing on Calvary my sin and disgrace;b — Such love constrains me to answer His call, — Follow His leading and give Him my all.
Living for Jesus, wherever I am, — Doing each duty in His holy name; — Willing to suffer affliction and loss, — Deeming each trial a part of my cross.
Living for Jesus through earth’s little while, — My dearest treasure, the light of His smile; — Seeking the lost ones He died to redeem, — Bringing the weary to find rest in Him.
Thomas O. Chisholm 1917
