"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do" (Eph 2:10). This means the blessings and love we have received from God are to be passed on to others (Mk 12:31; 1 Pet 4:10,11; 1 Jn 4:7-11). As we can only give out from the input we have received we must open ourselves up to the Lord and be filled with the Spirit, so we can give out from that uplifting life-changing source (Jn 7:37,38; Eph 3:19, 5:18). Submit yourself humbly and obediently to God, for Him to work through. Do not accept any credit for what God does. Have the attitude of having only done what was expected of you (Lk 17:10).
