DISCIPLINE OF THE SERVANT NO. 9
DISCIPLINE OF THE SERVANT NO. 9
I am daily learning that I must not be surprised by any sorrow in the place where the Son of God has been rejected.... When there is much to draw on one and to be most thankful for, there much sorrow might be. The Lord preserve you to us and to His service. I have been very much impressed of late, that as the blessed Lord was here for us, we now should be here for Him — that we receive not only grace for ourselves to the fulness of the Father’s love, but we receive special grace to be here for Christ.
My comfort is, that this discipline is to help you. We who live are always delivered unto death. We are touched where we feel most, but when you can see it is this — as sent by the Lord, that He should be more and more manifested in your mortal body, you can praise Him while you suffer. May this be your blessed experience. The blessed Lord is Jehovah-Jireh. Abraham had to travel a very desolate path before he realised this.
The Lord will satisfy every desire of your heart. The desire comes first and then the preparation. Moses was forty years being prepared for the desire of his heart.
