POTD: To be a ‘Jesus’ Christian

1–2 minutes

To read

Take a few minutes of your quarantine—sit down with the Maker of the Universe—your Heavenly Father and Best Friend—and chat. You never know what might come of it.

No one seems to remember who wrote it, but it captures the very Nature of Jesus and requests that His nature be ours, too…

Lord, help me live from day to day
In such a self-forgetful way
That even when I kneel to pray,
My prayer shall be for others.
Help me in all the things I do,
To ever be sincerely true,
And know that all I do for you
Must needs be done for others.
Others, Lord, yes others,
Let this, my motto be.
Help me to live for others,
That I might live for thee.

Amen and amen.
