Faithful in Service

Or service, let us be faithful in that service; or he who teaches, in that teaching; (Romans 12:7, RecVer)
Once the Lord has assigned to me a service, I must be faithful to that service. This responsibility laid upon me is a special portion from the Lord. And since I am aware about the service assigned to me, I must be faithful to my Lord. But the truth is, I can be faithful to Him only by His grace bestowed upon me to be my faithfulness. So, in whatever I do, I must be faithful by the faithfulness of God bestowed upon me; faithful in His faithfulness.

As a husband to my wife and father to my children, the Lord has been my faithfulness. Whenever I came home from my official trip, I did my best to take care of all the needs of the family. Oftentimes, things would pile up waiting for me to come home. Then, I would do them one by one at my own pace and capacity. First things first, and I would not give any room for panicking. Similarly, for all my personal work, official, and the church matters too. The underlying point here is faithfulness, which became a driving force within me to faithfully carry out all my responsibilities. 

The past month and this month have been loaded with responsibilities. Many works of mine have been in the queue. In fact, the Lord graced me to complete them one by one. These burdens actually led me to pray and pray. In fact, it helped me to exercise my spirit all the more to pray and pray and release all my burdens to the Lord.  The following verses are so nourishing these days as I go through this kind of experience. Oh, what a release to come to the Lord! Oh, what a rest to take His yoke! 

Mt 11:28Come to Me all who toil and are burdened, and I will give you rest.

Mt 11:29Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Mt 11:30For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
