All Things Work for Me, by Alex Mathew

All things work for me

 

I am held by and made whole in Him.

If He does not hold me and give me substance I am nothing.

With Him holding me, all things work for the good for me (Rom.8: 28)

Apart from Him I can do nothing (Joh.15: 5)

That give me a sense of sufficiency; for I am complete in Him (Col.2: 10)

I am not besieged by shame or pride.

The feelings is one that of fullness.

Everything is on my side, all things work for me.

I embrace my weaknesses and thank God for it.

For my strengths I am infinitely thankful to God.

Weak or strong I am His and He is mine.

 

As the hymn says;

 

“His for ever, only His:

Who the Lord and me shall part?

Ah, with what a rest of bliss

Christ can fill the loving heart!

Heaven and earth may fade and flee,

First born light in gloom decline;

But while God and I shall be,

I am His and He is mine”

 

Jesus holds all things together,

Universe, continents, countries, governments, economies-

men and women, all living and non-living things, celestial and temporal, the wicked and the worshiped, the good and evil the mean and the elegant, black and white, brown and yellow, the poor and the rich, the young and the old; absolutely everything down to every single sub-atomic particle he made.

Behind the rising and setting Sun I see His hands.

The soaring eagle and creeping worm have the same ATP design.

He is holding even you and me together!

Everything is for His glory

Nothing that He holds together can or will hurt me.

Fear nothing; if we do, then fear takes over

Fear only God, then He takes over.

Let Him by all means do that.

Surrendering is saying –AMEN to Him, amen to all things in life.

AMEN to all that IS

 

Minister in truth to the Spirit too, not to the flesh and mind only

Love is the foundation for all that we do.

There is only one foundation in our relationships with others.

Love is the fountain wherefrom Life springs up.

Take out love from the created, there is not even ash left behind.

Take out the created from Love; nothing diminishes Love.

Love remains intact.

His Love is unchanging for He is Love.

A Billion Dollars worth benevolent help will not last without that foundation of Love

If we fall out with others, we fall out with God.

Taking the focus away from God is evidence to our distrust of God.

Centering on our problems trusting in personal might is essential rebellion with God.

 

Life in me is not infused therein by myself

The Life of Jesus is given into me.

The beatitudes are written in my being.

The commandment to love the enemy is not to make the enemy feel good –but for removing my suffering in the living hell of hatred.

The command to show respect and love others is written in me not for improving His Kingdom, but to rinse me with His grace.

Hunger for righteousness will eventually fill me beyond the asking.

Meekness will save me from the stink of arrogance.

I have no right to expect mercy if I deny that to any.

This is profitable information for all.

 

Making peace is a preoccupation, which pays rich dividends in the end.

“Humble yourselves” is not for Him to feel bigger.

He IS the biggest, mightiest Master of all.

Humility saves me from being cooked in the hellish fire of pride.

Persecutions do not intimidate me, for my eyes are on my reward in heaven.

I have no ordinary claims, yet I am the salt of the earth.

But I have no fear of melting away.

Perhaps I lend flavor to a tiny section of His earth.

He knows better, but I would never poison my niche and environs I inhabit.

I am no light. I have no light in me.

Nevertheless, because He enlightens me some light perhaps spreads from me.

That too, He only knows how I can and would be used!

But I will not refuse to be a candle ready to burn and shed His light.

It is not worth holding myself back from His giving love.

I do not gain anything apart from Him.

I can find all things that build me up in Him alone.

His power and strength is at work within me.

His power is at work within everyone, everything and all things.

HE IS the CAUSE.

HE CREATES ALL THINGS.

ALL THING WORK FOR THE GOOD FOR me AS i LOVE HIM,

UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES THAT IS THE TRUTH
