Catching up

Greetings dear friends and followers!
It is a while since I entered a blog "Laurens Moment" so thought I would catch up. However, this began a train of thought......"How do I catch up on what has gone?"
It is like so many things that come along our way and we can either keep up, lag behind or miss- out altogether, an d as far as trying to catch up it is the final one that I must admit that I have on my plate.....I have missed out altogether. Sadly, this means that our communication and fellowship time has suffered and for this I am deeply regretful.
However, here we are and on a new day finding much to give thanks to God for as we look at His love and Grace in our lives.

There are those things that we would want to have done ,but have not put ourselves into action, and so they now remain undone, maybe, never to be attempted, therefore lost forever.

Then there are things that we will give some little time and attention, and as we see them occuring, find that our best has not been given, so it seems the results are not too good anyway.

However, there are the things that have claimed our attention and our best energies and actions and we look and see the results and are pleased with what we see.

In all of this our attitude and reasoning for why we have done those things need to be checked out and to make sure that as a Christian all our actions are firstly to please God and to bring glory to His name.

I remember a verse of a lovely old song I used to sing at church, and I might say still do sometimes, these are the words: 'All my best works are naught, please they not thee; Far past my busy hands thine eye doth see into the depths of mind, searching the plan designed, Gladdened when thou dost find, first of all, thee. ' (Leslie Taylor-Hunt. (1901-79)
(Song 416 verse 3. The Song Book of The Salvation Army.)

I wonder as you read this day's blog, if you would mind checking to see if what you are doing is really bringing glory to God and fulfilling the energy of life that you have.
I am convinced that many are being called to follow and serve the Lord within a full time ministry (Offciership within The Salvation Army -- for instance) and all that needs to happen is to check out -- if God does not want me for full time ministry then what? and then make your commitment sure by contacting the people concerned for recruitment of Candidates.
(Blog me and I can give you the required information.)

It could be that your best works are in service called by the Lord to follow, so why not take up your Cross and follow Him today!

"And we know that God causes all things to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them. Romans 8: 28.

God Bless you have a great day, for this is the day the Lord hath made we will rejoice and be glad in it! Halleujah!
