O the joy of having nothing and being nothing, seeing nothing But a living Christ in glory, And being careful for nothing but His interests down here. Whom have I in heaven but Thee? And there is none upon the earth that I desire beside Thee. O the joy of having nothing and being nothing, seeing nothing But a living Christ in glory, And being careful for nothing but His interests down here. |

Recently I read a biography of John Nelson Darby. On the first page he says, "O the joy of having nothing and being nothing, seeing nothing but a living Christ in glory, and being careful for nothing but His interests down here." This was a word spoken in his old age, in which he longed to be nothing, to have nothing, and to care for nothing but to have only Christ and care only for His interests on earth. What a joy this is! Hence, "Be not and He will be; / Wait and He'll all things give." Through the generations there were saints who experienced this. Today we should have this experience even more.

And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

The joy of having nothing but Christ is a great gain for us who live and love Christ rather than the things in the world.

There's nothing can be joyful than being with the Lord.
There's nothing more important than the Lord.
There's nothing can satisfy human except the Lord!

"For we did not determine to know anything among you except Christ, and this One crucified." How we really need to look to the Lord, to see only this living Christ in glory, that we may be completely given for His interest on earth, which is simply Christ living in every believer for His expression, and Christ as our life, light and love.

ONLY CHRIST IS OUR GAIN. It is a real joy to be, see, have nothing but the Living Christ is all in all. He filled up every gap. What else could we desire for? Nothing but HIM alone. AMEN!
