"If you would save others, you cannot save yourself. If you would bear much fruit, you must be buried in darkness and solitude."
Remember Paul and Silas in the prison? Deep within the confined space, dark with only each other and Christ there too! They sang praises to our Lord and Savior despite their circumstance. The fruit, a converted jailer and his family!
Paul embraced what we shun and it's to our harm that we do. Over and over again, we read in God's word and the Holy Spirit bares witness: we must DIE to our self! All of nature proclaims each spring as death becomes life, we too MUST die in order to live!!!
May you and I pray for God's strength that we may die completely to self and live fully in HIS grace and power to proclaim HIS glory and sole means of salvation.
Be BLESSED Always!!!
