I’m such a little being… I sleep 8 out of 24 hours. God is so powerful … never exiting rest, (?) But being rest, not needing rejuvination.
We are waterproof.
I am sure that we cannot understand any ‘set’ but our own, hence the need for the servent of God to be like Paul and have humanity as his ‘set’. I am become all things to all men, not that I might be nothing in particular to any man, but that I may by all means save some. OC
Our souls reality is much more pertinent than our physical reality to how satisfied we find ourselves with God. And our reality is this: that the love of God we experience is true, deep, and ever making itself known… if only we had the sense to grasp it. This is an area where God intervenes and makes Himself known to our feeble minds, at which point we accept His givings or we run and hide.
Much of what we do here is ‘waiting’. Undefined waiting, to be exact. Or defined waiting which goes longer indefinitely. God is teaching me something. The obvious lesson is that sometime in the future He will require me to be patient in waiting, efficient with my time, and carrying glad tidings all the while. There is a hint of mystery with the other addition to His teaching.
I aught to have nothing of my own; I take much better care of things which are others’. Be that true today, in my heart, O God- for everything I have is yours already, lent to me for a time only.
If we are simply to pray to the extent of a simple and pleasant and enjoyable exercise, and know nothing of watching in prayer, of weariness in prayer, we shall not draw down the blessing that we may. We shall not sustain our missionaries who are overwhelmed with the appalling darkness of heathenism…. we must serve God even to the point of suffering, and each one must ask himself, in what degree, in what point am I extending, by personal suffering, by personal self-denial, to the point of pain, the kingdom of Christ? …. It is ever true that what costs little is worth little. — Rev. Hudson Taylor
