Colossians 3:23-24 “Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the LORD and not for men because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the LORD as your reward. It is the LORD JESUS CHRIST you are serving!
THROUGH the Hearts of the Lost!
The masses who sing in the NAME of our KING
yet do not bring HIM glory nor sacrificed thoughts;
so their charity done then no better than dung
with such “life-songs” re-sung without
crediting GOD.
But those found relentless who serve with Surrender
take no pride within them…and zealously stand!
With Transparency’s flow, so their names stay unknown.
Thus each voice sows HIS praise; being emptied by Hand!
To Obedience bound, “inconvenienced” as well;
so our temples — indwelt — were birthed by Heaven’s AUTHOR.
Thus with meaning, our SAVIOUR, sowed seed as our FATHER,
conceiving our souls as the children
of promise!
As HIServants with Purpose, in crimson-cleansed cups,
then forever in Service, we’ll worship HIS NAME!
Not white-washed nor “still Lost” or lukewarm remaining,
so daily we sing giving HIM ALL our praise!
As just one of HIServants with lifted voice singing “All praise, honor, glory and credit to GOD!”,

Devotional: Jeremiah 29:13 “’You will seek ME and find ME when you search for Me with all your heart!”
We must singularly do things in, by and for JESUS‘ NAME. With such focus, our efforts are “not for” the homeless, the underprivileged, the widow or the orphan. In truth, we do all for HIM — “to” others.
Because HE said, Matthew 25:40 “”The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for ME.’” “FOR ME!”, HE says. Our AUTHOR!
Now the Pharisees and many yet today struggled with Transparency. Matthew 23:27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people’s bones and all uncleanness.”
HE compares such to “Whitewashed tombs” who clean the outside of the cup to deceive others from knowing the inside of their cup.
Verse 28 continues. “So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.”
Now some are directed to the affluent. Some are directed to the poor. Some to the unchallenged and others to the streets. To all walks of life, income status; to every nation, tribe, kindred and tongue.
But whatever direction and to whomever HE sends us, do ALL FOR HIM. Keep HIS face before you as you serve the faces HE has ordained to cross your path.
Ever keep Psalms 42:8 in mind as our personal motivation and encouragement!
We read, “The LORD will command HIS lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night HIS song shall be with me — a prayer to the GOD of my life!”
Thanks be to GOD for cleansing our cups within with CHRIST’s shed crimson at Calvary!
So let us run to AND for HIM…while going THROUGH the hearts of the Lost!
Amen and amen!
