Untitled Poem (God’s Work)

By Watchman Nee

God is more concerned with who we are

than what we do

True service is the outflow of His life

Service that pleases Him

is Christ’s life pouring out through us

To offer ourselves to God

is not to work for God

But to allow God to work in us

If we do not allow God to work in us

We cannot truly work for God
