Grapes Become Wine Only When They Have

The Bible Talks Plentifully About Joy, But It Nowhere Talks About A 'happy Christian.' Happiness Depends On What Happens; Joy Does Not. Remember, Jesus Christ Had Joy, And He Prayed 'that They Might Have My Joy Fulfilled In Themselves.'

If There Were Never Any Clouds (sorrows And Sufferings) In Our Lives, We Would Have No Faith. God Does Not Come Near Us Without Clouds.

One Of The Most Subtle Burdens God Ever Puts On Us As Saints Is This Burden Of Discernment Concerning Other Souls. He Reveals Things In Order That We May Take The Burden Of These Souls Before Him And Form The Mind Of Christ About Them. It Is Not That We Bring God Into Touch With Our Minds, But That We Rouse Ourselves Until God Is Able To Convey His Mind To Us About The One For Whom We Intercede.

If I Obey Jesus Christ, The Redemption Of God Will Flow Through Me To The Lives Of Others, Because Behind The Deed Of Obedience Is The Reality Of Almighty God.
