MOUNT MORIAH

MOUNT MORIAH

Though my sympathies are all active in concern for you, I am cheered in the assurance that you are an object of the deepest interest to our blessed Lord at this time. I feel that the Lord is leading you in a path now where no one can be any comfort to you but Himself. He is as it ^[p. 73] were insulating you to Himself. It is a most blessed experience when one is sensibly where there is nothing, nor no one but Himself, and that you lack nothing there. One comes out from such an experience in a way surprised that old and approved interests here are not now indispensable to me though they are better answered to. I believe after the experience I speak of you will feel that there is little here to interest you where there was once so much; but you will be so entranced with His delights that you will be ever rejoicing that they are through grace your own, and that you can always return to them while you discharge every duty and fill every relationship here in a finer way and after a divine fashion. There is a leading desire in the heart of our Lord for each of us, even that we may have part with Him — be with Him in the new place where He is now. As we advance “we who live are alway delivered unto death”; we find more of death here as we find and enter on more of life with Him; we are saved by His life. This is a Mount Moriah to you both, and the great value of it to you is that you are accumulating in your heart confidence in God.
