Monday, November 4

Thanks, little brother for your words of encouragement. What you said in your blog tonight stuck out to me because it's the same thing that I've been thinking about:

"its interesting to realize tho, that in our times of greatest victory, we are the most vulnerable to attack. it seems that - for me personally - if im not walking through the fire every moment, then during those easier moments, i am most failure prone.
fire forces us closer to the One we follow. when things arent as hot... i sometimes tend to enjoy my ability to run and be free... a lil too much."

It is good to know what our weaknesses are. It keeps us with the mindset that we are so in need of God. May He strengthen both of our hearts to run the race we are called to without giving up; and may He refine us to the point that our freedom may be enjoyed without the fear of compromise. May we be able to answer His heart's cry:

Place me like a seal over your heart,
Like a seal on your arm;
For love is as strong as death,
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like a blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.
Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot wash it away.
If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love,
it would be utterly scorned.
