The Lord has been gracious to meet me in the depths of selfishness that often overtake my flesh. He met me there in the beginning when my soul was given life according to His plan and purpose brought about by the sacrificial work of Christ Jesus on my behalf and was sealed by His Spirit for His Glory alone.
He has brought me closer to "looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of glory of our great God and Saviour Christ Jesus, Who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed and to purify for Himself a people for His own posession zealous for good deeds." (Titus 2:13-14)
The process of Purity is a long one and there are many bumps on the way, most times they are more like boils that ooze goo from the flesh continously. The Great Physician however is greatly skilled and faithful to His workings . Thanks for your prayers and encouragements.
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
“It is well, it is well with my soul”
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blessed assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross,and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
And Lord haste the day when the faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound,and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
