I am quite convicted of my great need in two areas: 1) A fresh revelation of Jesus Christ, and to grow deeper in communion and fellowship with Him. 2) To know the true value of a soul, and that God would move me with His compassion for souls. martin.
Here are a couple of applicable quotes by William Bramwell*
"Do you rise about 4 o'clock every morning? and in order to do this, do you retire to rest as soon as your work and meals are over, or do you sit and chat with the people? Do you give yourself to reading and prayer? I say, give, give yourself to these. Are you never in company above an hour at once? When in company, do you turn all into profit - into religion?"
"How is it that the soul being of such value, and God so Great, Eternity so near, and yet we are so little moved...?"
*They Knew Their God - Volume 1" By E.F. & L. Harvey and E. Hey
Those are our only needs; expressed in the greatest commandment. Love the LORD your God and your neighbor as yourself.
ReplyDeleteThe closer I grow it seems the farther i am from Him. I guess that keeps me hungering and thirsting for the salvation of my body (Rom. 8)
He which has begun a good work in you will perform it...
Amen!
And 'amen', William.
