To serve is to live. To suffer is better. Why should I hope for more? If God is pleased with my humble efforts, then I am fulfilled

Those who live by faith are always more powerful than those who live by sword and sinew." ~ Enoch
[People] hold on to the chains, because a faithless life seems easier to them than the sacrificial suffering that you...[are] called to live. They even drag these chains and moan about their weight, yet they still refuse to let them go, even though they are told time and again that every lock has been rendered powerless by the Lord Christ. Such is the madness of this generation of mankind.....Speak the truth. Live the truth. Be the truth. Never let the faithless ones change any of these three principles....In trying to bring this deliverance, you will say and do things that will make them shake their heads in pity. 'That poor girl,' they will say. 'Her passion has addled her brain.' Your confidence, they will call arrogance. Your faith they will call wishful thinking. Your purity, they will call self-righteousness. Your firm standing, they will call pride. Yet you will know, because of that fire within, that they are the ones dwelling in darkness, and you must touch your lighted wicks to their darkened lamps. I have confidence because of who gives me strength. Without God, I'm nobody. But with God, I believe I can do anything....I have confidence in the one who has made me pure. I can only hope that God will use [my words] for good and carry my thoughts of love to a generation that needs them, for although my story is one of heartbreak and pain, a glimmer of light persists. My faith in God has never died. No matter what happens to me, I know that one day I will stand unashamed in his presence....Until that day, the fetters I bear are but a passing annoyance, for I know that the coming Messiah will deliver me from the chains of this realm and take me to a higher plane. ~Elam |
