Day 12     Read; John 21:15—19
       
         God doesn’t ask you, ‘“How many hours did you
         spend in church work this week?”
        
       He asks:  “Do you love my Son?”
        
                  Do you love Him enough to walk in
                  His steps out there in the world
                  where I’ve placed you to work?
        
                  Do you love Him enough to reflect
                  His goodness toward the people who
                  live in your neighborhood?
        
                  Do you love Him enough to visit the
                  sick, clothe the naked, and feed
                  the hungry?
        
                  Do you love Him enough to confess
                  Him before other men?
        
         We all wish we could be doing more to build up
          the Church.
 
             ....but it’s not all our “doing” that
                 builds up the Church.
        
             Peter, the “Rock” upon whose confession
             and faithfulness Jesus Christ began to
             build His Church, was not given a set of
             blueprints and told to go to work....
             One thing was needful:
        
             “Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me?”        
                    “Yea, Lord; thou knowest that        
                     I love thee.” .....“Feed my lambs”
        
         When you can say with all your heart, “Yea,
         Lord; thou knowest that I love thee,” He’ll
         tell you what He wants you to do.
