The Nature Of Faith Is That It

One Of The Greatest Strains In Life Is The Strain Of Waiting For God.

Now Is The Time For Us To Stop Seeking Our Own Satisfaction And To Pour Out Our Lives Before Him.

Can Jesus Christ See The Agony Of His Soul In Us? He Can't Unless We Are So Closely Identified With Him That We Have His View Concerning The People For Whom We Pray. May We Learn To Intercede So Wholeheartedly That Jesus Christ Will Be Completely And Overwhelmingly Satisfied With Us As Intercessors.

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.

There Comes The Baffling Call Of God In Our Lives Also. The Call Of God Can Never Be Stated Explicitly; It Is Implicit. The Call Of God Is Like The Call Of The Sea, No One Hears It But The One Who Has The Nature Of The Sea In Him. It Cannot Be Stated Definitely What The Call Of God Is To, Because His Call Is To Be In Comradeship With Himself, For His Own Purposes, And The Test Is To Believe That God Knows What He Is After.
