the Lord needs to be the primary factor in our living. i realize i set my hope on so many other things in this world. this world is fraught with distractions.
often i find myself saying that id be happier if i had this.
but the lord convicted me tonight that he needs to be the primary factor in my life. break through my nature, mighty heavenly Love.
we often think we are virtuous before our virtue is actually tested. i mightve thought i was a patient person before i started living with the brothers. a lot of times i feel like i backslide when my own capacity runs dry. but i was touched that these failures are nothing new. its merely an open manifestation of our fallen condition. it's actually a blessing from the Lord; He's finally exposing me. and once the exposure is there, the Lord has a way to come in. The God who said "Out of darkness light shall shine" is the One that shines in our hearts to illuminate the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
