my utmost for his highest, 11th nov

"...take now thy son...genesis 22.2 - God's command is -Take now, not presently...the sacrifice is gone through in will before it is performed actually...always guard against self chosen service for GOd; self sacrifice may be a disease. If God has made your cup sweet, drink it with grace; if He has made it bitter, drink it in communion with Him, If the providential order of God for you is a hard time of difficulty, gto through with it, but never choose the scene of your martydom...if you are not living in touch with Him, it is easy to pass a crude verdict on God. You must go through the crucible before you haev any right to pronounce a verdict, because in the crucible you learn to know God better. GOd is working for His highest ends until His purpose and man's purpose become one..."


appropriated. it is no more difficult than i make it to be. this is no juggernaut. it can be but one of those ancient interstices amongst what is more important. i always create a mountain for myself. it is but a light step only. i fly.
