Holy Spirit Come – act in us that we may do Your works. And, open our hearts to hear only Your praises, to care only for Your praises.
Lord, one day we yearn to hear Your ultimate praises of our earthly deeds – “‘Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’” Matthew 25:21
Lift us by Your Presence and through Your gifts that we may do great things on earth for Your glory alone. If those works be hidden in secret, known only to You, let us treasure them even more.
In the eyes of the world, let me decrease that You may increase (John 3:30). Let me become nothing, that You become everything (1 Corinthians 15:28).
Remind us that we are dust and to dust we shall return – but, lift everything we do you the Glory of Your Throne. Though the world decries us as nothing, remind us that to God, we are everything.
When we care for and hear only Your praises, our anxieties vanish. We know in the Father’s praises of our good works, we rest in our value to Him. Every man treasures the pride of His Father.
Let us hear Your pride for us as Your sons and daughters. Let us take joy in Your Mercy and Love. Let us hear Your praises of our works in Your Kingdom.
Let us relish in the words the Father spoke to Jesus – ““You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”“ Mark 1:11
Come Holy Spirit, let us be praised by You.
