For Others

I get up from my knees. There is much to do and not much time to do it. "Okay" I said, "What will I do first? "
"Go and write down all what you need to do. " ....."Okay Lord. " I said. So I went to get a book, my hands then reached for a old notebook I used in school some time back. I flip the pages,.... Then it landed on a title for a song, which I had written out the lyrics for.
The song, "Spend Time With Jesus. "
I smile as I then closed the book. And these words burned within my conscience, "Spend some time with Me, put Me first."
So got my gadget, turned to the book, "Prayer " and saw this quote in Christ Object Lessons.
Christ was continually receiving from the Father that He might communicate to us. “The word which ye hear,” He said, “is not Mine, but the Father’s which sent Me.” John 14:24. “The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister.” Matthew 20:28. Not for Himself, but for others, He lived and thought and prayed. From hours spent with God He came forth morning by morning, to bring the light of heaven to men. Daily He received a fresh baptism of the Holy Spirit. In the early hours of the new day the Lord awakened Him from His slumbers, and His soul and His lips were anointed with grace, that He might impart to others. His words were given Him fresh from the heavenly courts, words that He might speak in season to the weary and oppressed. “The Lord God hath given Me,” He said, “the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: He wakeneth morning by morning, He wakeneth Mine ear to hear as the learned.” - COL 139.1
This just blew me away.
"Others??..... when I ....."
Yes others,.... no matter what.
"Oh yes Lord others. Our lives is not our own."
#1) God first
#2) Others second
and ourselves last.
