My sister gifted me with a copy of this little devotional booklet when I was a senior in high school(1992). I have red through it many times since then and it never ceases to amaze me the depth of insight God gave this godly man and how He continues to use these words to work in my life. I just wanted to share a little of what challenged me this morning.
"It is not a question of being saved from hell, but of being saved in order to manifest the life of the Son of God in our mortal flesh, and it is the disagreeable things which make us exhibit whether or not we are manifesting His life...You must keep yourself fit to let the life of the Son of God be manifested, and you cannot keep yourself fit if you give way to self-pity. Our circumstances are the means of manifesting how wonderfully perfect and extraordinarily pure the Son of God is...Keep your soul fit to manifest the life of the Son of Gd. Never live on memories; let the word of God be always living and active in you."
O Lord, it is so easy to give way to self pity, especially when we feel we are entitled to something we did not receive or something happens that we feel we did not deserve. Help us to always live in You and Your Word and not in experiences which can change so dramatically from one day to the next. O Lord, I thank you that even when everything might be changing around us, You and Your Word will NEVER change.
