- You
have absolutely no idea what the creative, unleashed love of
God through another person can do in a man's heart.
You have known that person
many years, and he has behaved wretchedly, but today could be
the day that God will reveal answered prayer.
So, we must not assume that anyone
is beyond change, for the One Who created out of a void can make
anything out of anything. It is simply a matter of His doing
it.
Often we get in the way of the
Lord and obscure what He might do because we refuse to hope for,
look for, and expect the very thing we have prayed for. His ministry
to and through us is one of Life, and when we are genuinely available,
the most thick and well-entrenched strongholds can be smashed
to powder.
I can only be available
to this ministry of love when I have decided to pursue with all
my energy and faculties the supernatural transformation that
comes from affirmative submission.
There is passivity, but there
is no such thing as passive submission - submission is not something
I let happen, but rather it is the taking up of the Cross so
as to yield to the death of the flesh.
Submission leads to seeing Him.
Seeing him leads to loving Him.
Loving Him leads to loving
others.
