Relationship Trumps Performance!

The Lord spoke to me today that I needed to be reminded and all who follow Christ that we can often get out of balance in terms of our call in serving Him.  The Lord said to me:

 

“You need to relax

and

focus on Me

 for your servanthood is

 secondary

while your relationship to Me is

primary.

 

 Yes,

 you are called to serve

 in what I am showing you,

but you must keep

 in balance

your time with Me

and

your time in serving Me.


Many of My people

forget that

I should be the

center of everything

they do for Me

and

 not the thing they are

 doing for Me

which can rob

them of their loving Me

with all their heart

 and

placing Me

first in their lives.

 

Performing for me

 can often displace their

love and devotion

for Me.


Let me remind you of what David said:


One thing

 have I asked of the Lord,

that will I seek,

inquire for,

and

 [insistently] require:

that I may

dwell in the house of the Lord

                                                     [in His presence]

 all the days of my life,

to behold and gaze upon the beauty

 [the sweet attractiveness

 and

 the delightful loveliness]

 of the Lord

 and

 to meditate,

consider,

and

inquire in His temple.

Psalm 27:4 (AMP)

 

I said of David,

 

….‘I have found

 David

the son of Jesse to be

a man after my heart,

 who will accomplish everything

I want him to do.

Acts 13:22 (NET)

  

I say to you,

watch your heart

that it seeks more of doing

 or performing for Me

 rather than being

 in My presence –

meditating on Me

and

receiving from Me all

that I have for you.


 Let My grace

 and

 love for you fill you

to overflowing as you make

 Me number #1

 

Then you will truly

come to know me –

the calling on your life –

the power and authority

I give you over all things –

and

 the assignments

I have waiting for you to take Me

 to the lost,

 the poor,

the heart-broken,

the destitute,

the rejected,

the homeless,

and

the forsaken.

 

Your servanthood

will arise out of your resting

in Me

and

waiting for Me

 to move you in the

 divine destiny

I have prepared for you.

 

The flow ended here.
