Soldier of The Cross, there is no time for wound-licking, whining or attention-getting.
The battle is in the mind. You must allow Him to use all your faculties, all your time. If you are passive or careless, your mind will automatically revert to pruning the flesh in one way or another.
We have no time for that. There are poor. There are dying. There are the ill. There are the lost. How are your hours spent?
Those watching you must be able to see that you are living as though the Lord were going to come in a few hours or a few minutes.
It is hard for the flesh, but not for the Spirit.
Lower your head and plunge into freedom. He who is Lord is able to make the way. Rest in and on His Lordship.
No Lordship, no Lord.
