Faith is not a feeling. Faith is willed obedience in action.
One does not surrender a life in an instant. That which is lifelong can only be surrendered in a lifetime.
I have one desire now - to live a life of reckless abandon for the Lord, putting all my energy and strength into it.
Faith does not eliminate questions. But faith knows where to take them.
Either we are adrift in chaos or we are individuals, created, loved, upheld and placed purposefully, exactly where we are. Can you believe that? Can you trust God for that?
Until the will and the affections are brought under the authority of Christ, we have not begun to understand, let alone accept, His Lordship. The Cross, as it enters the love life, will reveal the heartβs truth.
