EV 22:3{What will it be to be able at last to express not only all the love we now feel, but all the perfected love of infinitely enlarged capability of loving in the equally perfected service of equally enlarged capability of serving?—able to show Jesus a love which would burst our hearts if poured into them now! Able to put all the new rapture of praise into living action for Him! Able to go on serving Him day and night without any weariness in it, and never a hateful shadow of weariness of it; without any interruptions; without any mistakes at all; without any thinking how much better someone else could have done it, or how much better we ought to have done it; above all, without the least mixture of sin in motive or deed—pure, perfect service of Him whom we love and see face to face! What can be more joyful? We are not told much about it, we could not understand it now! the secrets of this wonderful service will only be told when we are brought to His house above, and see what are the heavenly "good works which God hath before ordained" (margin, prepared) for us. How full of surprises the new service will be!-new powers, new and entirely congenial fellow—workers, new spheres, new ministries; only two things not new, if our earthly service has been true—no new power, and no new end and aim, but the same, even His power and His glory! Then shall come the full accomplishment of the Messianic prophecy: "A seed shall serve Him"; and still we shall say (only I think we shall sing it), "Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen." "Whose I am and whom I serve" forever!
Lord, Thou needest not, I know, service such as I can bring;
Yet I long to prove and show full allegiance to my King.
Thou an honor art to me, let me be a praise to Thee.
