“O my God, I lie in Thy fire burning and purifying – so much dross I seem to discover today, so little of Thy sweet and lovely grace in dealing with others’ faults. Lord, forgive me.”

We have to learn to rely on the Holy Spirit because He alone gives the Word of God life. All our efforts to pump up faith in the Word of God is without quickening, without illumination. You reason to yourself and say, “Now God says this and I am going to believe it,” and you believe it, and re-believe it, and re-re-believe it, and nothing happens, simply because the vital power that makes the words living is not there.

We are not to preach the doing of good things; good deeds are not to be preached, they are to be performed.

“Abide in Me” (John 15.4). Think of the things that take you out of abiding in Christ – “Yes, Lord, just a minute, I have got this to do; Yes, I will abide when once this is finished; when this week is over, it will be all right, I will abide then.” Get a move on; begin to abide now. In the initial stages it is a continual effort until it becomes so much the law of life that you abide in Him unconsciously. Determine to abide in Jesus wherever you are placed.

There is no condition of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus. We have to learn to abide in Him wherever we are placed.

I am convinced that what is needed in spiritual matters is reckless abandonment to the Lord Jesus Christ, reckless and uncalculating abandonment, with no reserve anywhere about it; not sad, you cannot be sad if you are abandoned absolutely.
