i’ve always wondered what’s wrong with people (christians most of them) who are self-proclaimed religious aficionados. i mean, nothing wrong with their devotion or anything, but something is just amiss.
“There are times when we do know what God’s purpose is; whether we will let the vision be turned into actual character depends upon us, not upon God. If we prefer to loll on the mount and live in the memory of the vision, we will be of no use actually in the ordinary stuff of which human life is made up. We have to learn to live in reliance on what we saw in the vision, not in ecstasies and conscious contemplation of God, but to live in actualities in the light of the vision until we get to the veritable reality. Every bit of our training is in that direction…”
some of them just “stay there” and rather look upon their afflicted brothers and sisters and are probably wondering what quagmire of sins they wallowed in to deserve such burden.
i pray i won’t become one of them — when i do get out of the valley and into the light.
