There Is No Joy In The Soul

It Is A Tremendous Freedom To Get Rid Of All Self-considerat Ion And Learn To Care About Only One Thing-the Relationship Between Christ And Ourselves.

Do We Not See God At Work In Our Circumstances? Dark Times Are Allowed And Come To Us Through The Sovreignty Of God. Are We Prepared To Let God Do What He Wants With Us? Are We Prepared To Be Separated From The Outward, Evident Blessings Of God? Until Jesus Christ Is Truly Our Lord, We Each Have Goals Of Our Own Which We Serve. Our Faith Is Real, But It Is Not Yet Permanent. And God Is Never In A Hurry. If We Are Willing To Wait, We Will See God Pointing Out That We Have Been Interested Only In His Blessings, Instead Of God Himself.

When A Man Is At His Wits' End It Is Not A Cowardly Thing To Pray, It Is The Only Way He Can Get In Touch With Reality.

It Is Not A Lack Of Spiritual Experience That Leads To Failure, But A Lack Of Working To Keep Our Eyes Focused And On The Right Goal. At Least Once A Week Examine Yourself Before God To See If Your Life Is Measuring Up To The Standard He Has For You. Paul Was Like A Musician Who Gives No Thought To Audience Approval, If He Can Only Catch A Look Of Approval From His Conductor.

The Height Of The Mountaintop Is Measured By The Drab Drudgery Of The Valley.
