The Lord has brought me growth in knowing , something i cannot regret, though there have been tmes i wished i never met . I have to give to the Lord regularly. I Live "present tense" more than ever before and have managed to overcome the plaguing desire to know if...
Ive told the Lord I want to be an obedient servant, and He shot back, "Are you willing to face grief and pain or whatever it takes for Me to make you that?" Even though I felt unable, I said, "What choice do I have? I know too much to drop the ball now. There's no turning back." Id be lying if I said I wasnt afraid. But He has brought me this far and already my joy is unspeakable.
- "Passion & Purity", Elisabeth Elliot
Im reaching for the highest goal, the highest calling, to be pure, holy, and righteous.
And i am afraid of the tougher days ahead. those days and months of breaking down the stubborn and ugly ways, those tears waiting to be shed, that heart waiting to be broken.
But hope keeps me moving and living..
Like silver that has to be passed through the hottest of flames to be refined, till He is pleased with His reflection in me.
Lesson 1:
"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight."
1 Peter 3:3-4
