Participation


Philippians 1:3-5 

I thank my God every time I remember you. I always pray with joy in my every prayer for all of you because of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now.

 Participation

 

Jesus does not need your help

but He likes it rather well.

He can do without your works

but He likes participation.

Jesus does not need your strength

but He likes your efforts.

He does not need your thoughts

but likes your admiration.

 

Jesus likes to guide your heart

and where your will resides.

He would love to fill it

with presence from above.

Jesus would then mold your mind

into a gift from Heaven.

He would help you to dissect

fables from truth in love.

 

He would show you love in deed

with joy, peace and patience.

He would fill your heart with faith

in His image there to mold.

He would teach and show you truth

so to move in obedience.

Jesus with a smile would show

how to live above this world.
