Live by Faith Blessed
are those who have not seen yet believe Blessed
are the hands that keep giving thought they never receive Blessed
is the heart gets broken but keeps holding on, for a better day.. Cause that’s what it means to live by faith.. Feb 15 2002 A Christian dreamed she saw three others at prayer. As they knelt the Master drew near to them. As He approached the first of the three, He bent over her in tenderness and grace, with smiles fill of radiant love and spoke to her in accents of purest, sweetest music. Leaving her he came to the next, but only placed His hand upon her bowed head, and gave her one look of loving approval. The third woman He passed almost abruptly without stopping for a word or glance. The woman in the dream said to herself, "How greatly he must love the first one, to the second He gave His approve but non of the special demonstrations of love He gave the first; and the third must have grieved Him deeply, for He gave her no word at all and not even a passing look. O woman how you have wrongly interpreted Me, the first kneeling woman needs all the weight of My tenderness and care to keep her feet in My narrow way. She needs My love, thought and help every moment of the day. Without it she would fail and fall. The second has stronger faith and deeper love, and I can trust her to trust me however things may go and whatever people do. The third, whom I seem not to notice and even to neglect has faith and love of the finest quality, and her I am training by quick and drastic processes for the highest and holiest service. She knows me intimately and trusts Me so utterly, that she is independent of words of looks or any outward intimation of my approval. She is not dismayed nor discouraged by any circumstances through which I arrange that she shall pass; she trusts Me when sense and reason and every finer instinct of the natural heart would rebel - because she knows that I am working in her for her eternity, and that I do, thought she knows not the explanation now, she will understand hereafter. -exerpt from Streams in the Desert |
