Purity comes at a high price.
What has been like water from the well of Bethlehem to you recently?
Love, friendship, spiritual blessing? Then at the peril of your soul you take it to satisfy yourself. If you do, you cannot pour it out before the Lord. How am i to pour out spiritual gifts, or natural friendship, or love? How can i give them to the Lord? In one way only - in the determination of the mind, and that takes about two seconds. If i hold spiritual blessings or friendship for myself they will corrupt me, no matter how beautiful they are. I have to pour them out before the Lord, give them to Him in my mind, though it looks as if i am wasting them, even as David poured the water out on the sand, to be instantly sucked up.
Steadfastness, that is holding on;
Patience, that is holding back;
Expectancy, that is holding the face up;
Obedience, that is holding one's self in readiness to go or do;
Listening, that is holding quiet and still so as to hear.
How long, Lord, must I wait?
Never mind, child. Trust Me.
Passion v.s Purity. Which one will u choose?
The easier way, or the harder way?
It's so hard.. but i thank You for Your word..
I take comfort in knowing You truly understand.
