CROSSING OVER!
Soul Snack 9/122 ... Crossing over!
Always waiting, never receiving but still constantly feeling.
Righteousness the high pursuit of the safe soul, indulgence the high pursuit of a worried self. In fact indulgence delivers its own defeats.
In my search for repair and zeal for release I can hurt my eternal by my haste for the temporal.
Trust must precede righteousness! Trust still believes that when the outward hurts the inward, when good has apparently fled, the best will still come and goodness will still be restored.
'Never doubt in darkness what God has shown you in the light' (Neil Anderson) must be the 'call to arm's for the last, the lost, the least and the lonely. Patient in perplexity and dogged in devotion the only way to live.
In darkness there is no victory, grace feels absent and there is no visible path to the future. Hope has indeed fled!
For the serial despondent and the definetly depressed Jesus bellows from the halls of heaven - The impossible is available to those who rely on the eternal.
This is true!
This is Jesus' invitation to walk from dark to light by holding His hand.
