(Part 2/2) "'Can I do my laundry as to the Lord?' I asked myself. 'Can I do my schoolwork as to the Lord?' I knew the answer was 'yes' because whatever you do encompasses both of those activities. Instead of entertaining thoughts of self-pity or complaint while doing laundry, I can pray for someone, think about God’s Word, or even sing an encouraging song. Instead of doing my schoolwork grudgingly, I can do it with diligence and thankfulness that I have the opportunity to get an education.
These are the type of things I can do every day to express my love for God. These things are 'hidden' in my thoughts. They won’t bring me appreciation or honor from others, but they will bring God’s blessing over my life!
While doing laundry, God’s Word filled me with joy and freed me from discontentment!" Martha (USA)
“May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ —for this will bring much glory and praise to God.”

Only God can fill God-sized holes. Until God has the proper place in our lives, we will always complain that we are not loved enough, respected well enough or supported enough." (Tim Keller). This Tim Keller quotation serves as a great reminder that it's more blessed to give, than it is to receive. We are called to put others' interests above our own. When we interact with others, we need to stop being self centred, and instead be humble and think about how we can serve others in love. It's only from knowing how much we are loved and valued by the Lord, that we can serve others around us in love, and love one another with a pure and sacrificial love that comes from God, for God is love. We would live our lives so differently if we allow the Lord to love us, as we are, open up our hearts to the perfect and unconditional love of God, and then allow God's love to flow through us, to those around us. We are here to serve one another in love, a love that's selfless and pure, without being self-seeking. Rather than being restrictive, this would be actually incredibly liberating to live like this. Putting others before ourselves, and being able to rest in the Lord's perfect love for us, His children, and serve each other in love. It's the Lord's love that makes us whole, and nothing else in this world can do that. #author #naturelover #JesusFollower #JesusChrist #graceofGod #loveoneanother #serveinlove #outwardfocused #truelionofthetribeofjudah #lions #lovelions #GodsLove #vastastheocean #amazinglove #amazinggrace #CompleteInChrist #lovedbyGod #savelions #savehabitat #lioncub

Even when it is “smooth sailing,” and everything seems to be going well in my life, it is crucial to have constant contact with God. He cares about the smallest details of my life. And He says that I can come to Him with everything – all my requests – be it a “smooth” day or a rough day. The result of that constant, firm relationship with God, is that He will give me a peace which will guard my heart and mind from unrest and anxiety.

“Merciful and full of love, She [Mother of God] manifests Her love towards Her Son and God in love for the human race. She intercedes for it before the Merciful One, and going about the earth, She helps men. Having experienced all the difficulties of earthly life, the Intercessor of the Christian race sees every tear, hears every groan and entreaty directed to Her. Especially near to Her are those who labour in the battle with the passions and are zealous for a God-pleasing life. But even in worldly cares She is an irreplaceable helper.” – St John Maximovitch. ❤️❤️❤️ #orthodoxy #orthodox #orthodoxchurch #orthodoxchristianity #orthodoxquotes #christianorthodox #christianquotes #christianity #stjohnmaximovitch #motherofgod #loveorthodoxy #liveorthodoxy #prayer #christ #pray #humility #graceofgod #God #Godslove #spiritualgrowth #spiritualinspiration #spiritualstrength #faith #love #hope #godsgrace #throughthegraceofgod
This fits together with what is written in James 1:2-4: "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing." We can come into times of intense battle. But in these battles we have nothing to fear, because we know that the end intended by the Lord will bring us deeper rest and peace, and will do its perfect work in us.
