One of the hardest lessons in life to learn is that man is more than a
material creature.
Friends, before Our loving God can bless us with real rest of soul there are a number of battles we must willingly undertake to fight.
Precious readers, I need to remind you that those who are clinging to
a self-willed life are not wholeheartedly commited to trusting and
obeying God.
How then do we discover truth in its beauty and love in its tenderness?
We need to know that God is beautiful! His nature, character, speech and deeds are beautiful, loving, righteous and just. Let’s, therefore, worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. Let’s make a commitment to trusting and obeying Him.
Let’s make a wholehearted commitment to worshiping God in the beauty of holiness, for only His beauty is unfading and everlasting.
Friends, in order to become and live more purely we start to see the self-willed life as sinful. Truly if we are enslaved to the self-willed life we ought to pray to God to remove the scales from our eyes, so that we can start regarding it as a type of leprosy.
Holy God, help us to regard the self-willed life as something to be repulsed. Help us to start loathing it, so that we can turn sincerely to You, for You alone can rescue unregenerate man out of the slavery of the self-willed life.
Friends, God’s awesome gracious gift of holiness never disappoints its possessor and it sheds its purifying influence to all both near and far away.
May God inspire you to live an even purer life in 2013!
Short & SWEET …
