In God’s
economy, you must go down into the valley of grief before you can scale the
heights of spiritual glory.
You must
become tired and weary of living alone before you seek and find the fellowship
of Christ.
You must
come to the end of self before you begin to live.
The mourning
of inadequacy is a weeping that catches the attention of God.
The Bible
says, “The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such
as be of a contrite spirit.”
The happiest
day of my life was when I realized that my own ability, my own goodness, and my
own morality was insufficient in the sight of God, and I publicly and openly
acknowledged my need for Christ as a boy, just 15 years old.
I am not
exaggerating when I say that my mourning was turned to joy and my sighing into
singing that day.
