We have a God who is thorough and does an infinite and eternal work in us.
We don't serve a band-aide Lord. Hallelujah!
He loves us enough to go beyond our frantic setting of boundaries and myopic flag-planting. The goal is that God be glorified, and it is for our good. The goal is that we be prepared for eternity. The goal is that we be transformed into His likeness.
None of these things comes by merely learning about it, although there must be hearing before response. The measureless value comes when the Soldier of The Cross is willing to be taken through the fire and, by faith, agrees with Him about it.
In our wildest imagination, all we have is our wildest imagination. We can't begin to design what is good for us. But the One whose heart is ravished by our attention has already designed it.
Are you a Soldier of His? Have you crossed The Line? Have you decided He can do anything with your life? Anything? Have you told Him so? Aloud?
Somehow we have a concept that His work within us is to accomplish a goal or hit a level. That is not true. He wants to produce His own Life in us. That means that if we are available, we are always stretched. It is the only way the burden is light.
Open that door and let Him come in to sup with you.
