"In order to preserve our spirits, we must have food continually from above and visitations from the Lord. We do not find life in ourselves, but in our Lord. Apart from Him, we could not exist spiritually, even for a moment. We cannot keep our own souls alive through any grace of our own."
I believe this passage is a statement of death. To say that I can no longer help myself, is the very end of me. And the hope is that Jesus is on the other end. The thoughts of this world scream that if you come to the end of yourself you will die. Which is true. But, Jesus didn't end the statement there.
If you want to find life you must loose it.
If you abide in me, you will find life.
Have you ever had a day were you find yourself wanting more visitations from the Lord? If I can't find life in myself, if there is no good thing in and of myself and life is only found in His Glory, His Goodness...How can I loose more of my life?
"If we are right in our hearts, we will honor Him more and more every day, as we more and more perceive our indebtedness to Him. He is our daily bread on which we feed continually, and the living water of which we drink continually."
Let us loose a little more today.
