Whispers to the Soul
There exists a void fixed by God that can never be bridged by man. This impossibly vast chasm divides those lost in the world from those lost to the world. The Father placed Jesus' timber cross across it.
Christians are still to learn the impossible reconciliation of being taken by the world and God simultaneously.
It is in hardship that the believer is stripped of the world, and real discipleship is learned.
... He who has suffered is done with sin. (1 Peter 4:1)
Faithfulness is only possible when unfaithfulness is available. ~ anon
Suffering fades easy-believism. The screams of the flesh are dulled thus His whispers to the soul become audible.
In crossing the bridge Heaven's whispers are heard, then the disciple masters the flesh. A love deeper than the chasm flows. It is an unnatural selfless love to man. The bridge to His whispers can be excruciating (remember it's a cross), but it is heaven for those who will endure to the other side.
Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. (Hebrews 12:3)
