This is No Longer My Life
I woke this
morning with a friend heavy on my heart. I had got some news about this friend
the night before and it overflowed my heart with tears for them and for their
family. I don’t know if I will ever see them again or be able see them and know
them in the way that I used to but I know this, the Lord does and won’t let
them go. It has been almost a year since the events occurred and it breaks my
heart even more so that I’ve only just found out about it now. A whole year! I
cannot fathom it.
I have decided
to enter into a prayer fast for my friend. Any who may read this please join me
in praying for her, in your own time, in your own way but I believe in the
power of prayer. It is our main weapon we have on this earth to combat in war. Oswald this
morning I felt pinpointed my feelings in many ways. Thank you Jesus for the
power of grief to bring me closer to you.

The Glory That’s Unsurpassed
By Oswald
Chambers
…the Lord Jesus…has sent me that you may receive your
sight… —Acts 9:17
When Paul received his sight, he also
received spiritual insight into the Person of Jesus Christ. His entire life and
preaching from that point on were totally consumed with nothing but Jesus
Christ— “For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ
and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians
2:2). Paul never again allowed anything to attract and hold the
attention of his mind and soul except the face of Jesus Christ.
We must learn to maintain a strong degree
of character in our lives, even to the level that has been revealed in our
vision of Jesus Christ.
The lasting characteristic of a spiritual man is the ability to understand
correctly the meaning of the Lord Jesus Christ in his life, and the ability to
explain the purposes of God to others. The overruling passion of his life is
Jesus Christ. Whenever you see this quality in a person, you get the feeling
that he is truly a man after God’s own heart (see Acts 13:22).
Never allow anything to divert you from
your insight into Jesus Christ. It is the true test of whether you are
spiritual or not. To be unspiritual means that other things have a growing
fascination for you.
Since mine eyes have looked on Jesus,
I’ve lost sight of all beside,
So enchained my spirit’s vision,
Gazing on the Crucified.
