‘Yet you ask, “Is this a God of mercy and love?”
When seen from God’s perspective, it is
a glorious ministry of love. God is going to bring you out pure, spotless,
and undefiled, but He wants you to recognize the nature you were exhibiting—
the nature of demanding your right to yourself. The moment you are willing for God to change your nature, His
recreating forces will begin to work. And the moment you realize that God’s purpose is to get you into the right
relationship with Himself and then
with others, He will reach to the very limits of the universe to help you
take the right road. Decide to do it right now, saying, “Yes, Lord, I will write that letter,”
or, “I will be
reconciled to that person now.” […] If you find yourself asking, “I wonder why
I’m not growing spiritually with God?”— then ask yourself if you are paying
your debts from God’s standpoint. Do now
what you will have to do someday. Every moral question or call comes with an
“ought” behind it— the knowledge of knowing what we ought to do.’ CHAMBERS
Is there something in your
heart that you refuse to release? Maybe
you feel it protects you or you are somehow justified in holding on to it when
in fact, it stifles your spiritual growth … quenches the Spirit within you.
Then you wonder where the peace and joy have gone
that once ruled in your heart … the fact is, they are standing at the door .. waiting
.. for you … Until you are willing to release what has enslaved you .. isn’t
that an interesting thought .. it’s as if the cell door is unlocked but we
prefer to stay behind bars … and we wonder every day why we are not free. I want to encourage you to lay your heart
open to God, your chains will be loosed and the doors will fall away. The light of the Holy Spirit will show you
the way out and peace and joy will reign once again. Don’t wait!
Do it today.
