“Where two or three are met together, the prayer of one strikes fire from the soul of another; and the latter in his turn leads the way to nobler heights of devotion. And lo! as their joy increases, there is One in their midst whom they all recognize and cling to. He was there before, but it is only when their hearts begin to burn that they recognize Him; and in a true sense they may be said to bring Him there.”

Watchman Nee – Spiritual Food

“Spiritual food of a believer is nothing more nor less than accomplishing God’s work. The kingdom of God suffers greatly at the hands of “spiritual believers” who busy themselves with prayer and Bible study and attend only to their spiritual need.”
– Watchman Nee

The Nature Of Love

The Nature of Love

the nature of love

God’s Love, by its very nature, is an active and creative power within the soul of man. Creation is proof of God ever seeking, ever desiring to expend and lavish His love in new dimensions. The Word declares that we were “created for His pleasure,” and it is His pleasure to pour out Himself in unmeasured and unmerited means. His Love in us seeks, desires, and ever works to color everything within its reach, not to own, rule, or control but to inspire others to live fully in God.

The infinite and all-encompassing God whom our forefathers sought with passion calls us to depths unknowable and heights unsearchable.

“Deep calleth unto deep”
Psalm 42:7

The Love of God is the call, and His Love in man is the response.

“We love Him because He first loved us.”
1 John 4:19

“He said “Love…as I have loved you.”
We cannot love too much.”

Righteousness

Righteousness

righteousness---

“Righteousness in the true sense of the original language means that we become all that HE has purposed for us individually. It is something far more than moral excellence or a religious code of ethics.  It is the living wonder wrought within us by the receiving of Christ Himself.”
– Brian Troxel

Walk On

Walk On
When obscurity clouds our way,
And our confidence becomes uncertain.
Introspection brings dismay,
And doubt draws its dark curtain.

The pilgrim leans upon the past,
in the midst of present sorrow
Faith in Him:
———–the First and Last
through today unto tomorrow
——Walk On
until all earthly shadows are past
——in the countenance of the Son.

Walk On
